BASKETS

In The Hot Day
Hot days can be destructive, particularly for the garden, the young plants, can easily get damaged, the flowers and leaves are wilted, the rose petals become dry, and the soil is cracked.  Personally, I don't like to be in the garden working, but watering is necessary,  it is better in the late afternoon or early morning, not in between.

However, it is suitable for taking advantage of the hot weather.   I did wash all my food baskets.

I scrubbed and washed them in soapy water, drained and dried them under the hot sun.

There are two types of baskets in my household, one example is the baskets for keeping fruits or food, and the other baskets are pot plant holders.

The pot plants holders, I aired them in the backyard and let them sit under the sun.  It got rid of the mould and kept the baskets dry and healthy.



To wash the basket does not take a long time, use a durable scrubber, scrub the basket thoroughly with mix detergent and hot water, wash and rinse in soapy water.

Drain, take them outside, place them over a clean cloth and dry them under the sun on a hot day.

All the baskets are dry now, the family can use them with confidence, they are clean and healthy.


Using the Baskets
Baskets are suitable for resting freshly cut flowers, especially roses.



While I am harvesting, I keep the vegetables, herbs, and fruits,  in baskets.

Fresh bread/rolls appeal better to be presented in baskets.

Chestnuts on a basket keep them dry not mouldy, freshly cut herbs, vegetables are always in a basket,  and also the basket is an excellent container to dry bay leaves and herbs.

Baskets for Plant Holders

The orchid flowers are cascading along the tall basket looking very pretty, and the monstera deliciousa stands proudly in a large basket looking more practical.



Where would you keep those baskets?  You do need a special place for them, a cupboard or space in the pantry or hang them up in a dry place somewhere inside the house.

In a cooler day but dry and sunny fill your pick nick basket with beautiful food to eat outdoors, enjoy the fresh air and beautiful nature.  That is another way of using baskets.



Today in the modern era, I think baskets are here to stay.  The fact is that people spend the time to create beautiful and intricate goods,  we all appreciate folk craft/art.
