Thanks everyone, MA I water 2 times per week, I find if you water well the water gets into the soil properly and mass planting works like a mulching effect and great to keep the weeds out as well Going to enjoy them while I can, think Jan/Fed going to be long hot months

Twice a week gee how do you find the time, my garden is lucky if it gets watered every two weeks, though I do the tropicals more often

Oh well, thought I's grow them as I have not done so for a few years, back to the hardier ones next time, might try daisies in the hangers, put a yellow one in the other month and very pleased and lasts for a long time too
