I like the look of these - and have a perfect sunny spot for 2 baskets
Can the seeds be plented directly into the final basket ?


Provided the basket is kept indoors (greenhouse, conservatory or next to a
large window to get plenty of light) until the plants are large enough to be
put outdoors, I can't see why not.

Treat it as a very large seed tray and make sure you harden off the plants
(i.e. gradually acclimatise them to cooler conditions) before placing
outside.

When the plants are small, be careful not to overwater them - at that stage
there will be a lot of compost (and therefore water) relative to the size of
the plants.
