This is the first posting of all the plants. I will try to group them in sixes and give my observations on what worked and didn't work. For those of you who are not familiar with the metric system here is a quick summary:
2.54 cm (centimeters) = 1 inch
100 cm = 1 meter
39 inches = approx 1 meter
I try to use metric sizes when ever possible.
Note: The spikes are a plant I cannot remember the name. It grows fairly tall in the planter (About 50cm) and I use it as a contrasting planting in the middle of the flower box.
Pot: 1 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Osteosperum, Spike, Dianthus
Observations: Disappointing, other than the spike they were short in height and a short blooming period.
Pot: 2 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Osteosperum, Spike, Dianthus
Observations: Same as pot 1.
Pot: 3 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Geraniums (red), spike ground cover plant (can't remember the name).
Observations: Nice colouring and the ground cover was fairly drought resistant. The geraniums flowered all season until a killer frost.
Pot: 4 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Geraniums (red), spike, ground cover plant (can't remember the name).
Observations: Same as pot 3.
Pot: 5 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Geraniums (red), Spike Snapdragons.
Observations: Same as pot 3.
Pot: 6 = Size: 50cm x 15cm | Location: Hanger on fence
Plantings: Ivy Geraniums, Spike, Snapdragons.
Observations: Same as pot 3. The difference in the leaf colouring of the ivy geranium was a nice contract to the other geraniums.
