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.


Want some fun, plant one of them with peanuts.

From whence comes the merriment?


They way they grow and seed. It just looks neat. If it works like it
should, you'll get the peanuts to develop hanging underneath the basket.
Leaf-wise, they are a pretty plant anyway with nice little flowers. The
fertile flowers then sprout this spike that shoves the developing seed
pod underground.
