A Tisket a Tasket a Blue and Yellow Basket!

So for those of you who are songies (you like music) - yes the original line sung by Ella was a Brown and Yellow basket - but alas we don't have any of those.  What we do have are some lovely combos for sun and shade.

Basket fun fact: Did you know that I update the "colors" in each basket combo each year to reflect the Pantone color report?  That way the baskets should coordinate with other decor items folks are seeing out there.

For the Shady Ladies: No, not 50 shades - we don't sell that stuff!



Purple Brocade


























This year I have again tweaked the mixed shade baskets.  They are one of the most difficult things to grow at the nursery - and are constantly giving me fits.  The sunny stuff just goes to town and intermixes and generally behaves itself.  But shady stuff grows slower and is less predictable.  I think the combos came out pretty well this year - here is a look at some.



Pink Chiffon



Red Velvet

Lavender Lace

Sunbonnet Sues: You know you love the sun!

Twilight Mixed Sun

We have a totally new combination this year "Twilight" in light lavender, purple and black.  Spring Passion, Vivid Vive 2.0 and Summer Skies are some of the mixes that got updated with new colors.  Of course there are a few that don't change - like Sweet N' Sassy and Tuscan Hills.

Looking forward to putting a few of these in my own yard this year.  As some of you might remember, we tore out our yard at the end of summer.  Well Fred has completed a beautiful deck in our backyard (yay patio space!) and it even has a trellis!  For the first time in at least 10 years I can really have hanging baskets.  He even put a drip system in (so I can remember to water.)  I will post pictures of the progress in a future post.
