Bev, thanks! I used an awl to poke holes, then a screwdriver to make most of them bigger, and scissors to make a few a lot bigger. I'm doing almost all of my hanging baskets that way, about a half dozen left to do. All plants with small stems, should be really cool when they fill in some.
Also have a rectangle purple wire mesh basket I think would look cool with tiny, creeping Sedums taking over it. This discussion gives me ideas to use it vertically so it takes up 1/3 the space. Sweet.
Mark, I'm sure that would go well, and thanks for that tip! DH does most of the tool'ing, he's got an eye out for the right pieces of 'scrap wood' to bring home from work. 'They' sell rolls of that wire stuff, if you need more, different size holes and strengths of wire, you probably know that.
