I have four hanging baskets that I want to plant with something. It's a
toss up between strawberries and flowers. I could us some advice on the
type of strawberry or some help in finding flowering plants that will
cascade. Nasturtium is one choice because it already grows like a weed
here. I'm in USDA 9b, 70 miles north of San Francisco, in the costal
hills, the baskets will get 6 - 8 hrs of full sun and some partial sun.

Thanks for any help.

How about Impatiens ? We love double impatiens. Think roses with no
thorns that you can cut and root over winter.

Bill who wishes they were edible

It seems near the house, where there isn't much continuous Sun, they
would be OK but I am planning on having them out in the garden in full
Sun for 6 - 8 hours/day. Would they be OK or would they fry?

They would fry most likely. They like shade and moisture. Still a
micro climate of your design may help them give you lots of color.
