Hi Marilyn,

I will check out Sweetpeet right now. Thanks for taking the time to share all the information. Sounds like something I would like to try. I am always trying new things to compare and see what works best. Some flowers like one thing and some flowers flop with certain things I try ,and I learn from my mistakes.

Here is a picture of the pots I had on my double driveway last year. It was beautiful ,and I had done this for years with my pots because now that Mom and Dad have died, no one uses the other driveway. It was not a kid who stole the pots , because he or she picked out the geranium pots. They were lightweight and easy to carry. The dark pink geranium in the front was one that was stolen and I so loved that one. This year all the hanging plants on the front porch are on chains and locks. So far none have been stolen. I can only guess who stole it. We have junk pick up every three months and poor people go through all that trash to resell it. Those people are all over our neighborhood ,and yes I had put quite a lot out last spring. So that is my guess who stole my plants. It happened the year before also and I should have wised up at that point. I had an 8 inch pot of flowers and the pot was hand painted and given to me by my boss at that time. It was stolen off my front porch.. I do not put anything on the front porch anymore that is not under lock and key. It is a shame that I have to now live this way.

I will also post a picture of my front yard this year and you can see the hanging baskets and they are under lock and key.
