Last month our Lunch Club, arranged by Sophie Rickards, had a very enjoyable afternoon at Millsoms in Stratford St. Mary. We also took part in, ‘Hadleigh On Show’ last weekend and thought that we had a successful day. As our Speaker got lost on the way to Hadleigh this evening, we had Tea & Biscuits while he set up instead of at the end of the evening. This month we had a practical demonstration from Mr. John Hewson on how to plant, ‘Autumn Hanging Baskets’. He told us that a Summer hanging basket is cheaper to plant as not many plants are needed as they quickly blossom and fill the spaces. For Winter you need to fill the basket with more plants as they are slow-growing but have the advantage of lasting longer. In Summer, the idea is to keep in as much moisture as possible, whereas, in Winter, the plants get too much water and so they need to be able to drain well. For good drainage, Mr. Hewson used a mix of 5 parts compost to 1 part grit. He planted two kinds of baskets; a plastic one and a traditional one with a liner. In the plastic one, he was able to plant Violas round the sides, while in the middle he planted colourful Pansies with Sedge Grass and a spider plant as well as trailers of Variegated Ivy and Vinka to grow down the sides. In the second basket, he planted Erica and an alpine to flower later with a reddish Sedge and an evergreen Ajuga, trailing Lavender (Platinum Blonde) and a Cyclamen for a splash of colour. He gave a few little tips about care and planting as he went along, making it look all very simple and finishing with two very attractive baskets. As a bonus, we were able to buy some of the extra plants that he had brought along ! Rae Stapleton
