It's not an easy task leeping those hanging baskets from drying out
and dying in the hot dry tennessee weather.Ive got 2 baskets of
hanging annuals and i must water 3 times per day to make them look
like normal healthy plants.Im not to enthused with annuals.They
require so much attention and then they die at summer's end.

Id much rather have perennials,they come back every year.

Any ideas on how to keep from watering your hanging baskets 3 times a
day?Ive tried shade.Its hot here


Are the "baskets" plastic, or lined with plastic to prevent evaporation from the
whold basket.
