In answer top Gayle, the bulbs were meant to come up in the spring, after the winter flowering plants had died. They were never intended to last until the summer.

My Ma told Peter when offered a hanging basket that she didn't have the inclination to go out everyday, after carrying the steps outside, to water a basket that would have to be high enough to deter the vandals. Especially when she'd been rolling out teacakes since six am, when Peter was still tucked up under his duvet.

Other towns/cities have hanging baskets that are watered by council workers. Perhaps less baskets and someone to care for them would give us a better chance in the Britain in Bloom competition next year.
I was being nice and trying to be supportive to our leader for once but you're right, what was I thinking - it was a numb idea and not surprisingly didn't work! The council should be maintaining them if they offer to put them there in the first place.
