Awesome Connie!! I just went to the thrift store and I saw tons of baskets. Maybe I will have to go and get a few and plant some of my new babies im getting in it and see how they do. It should get plenty of drainage. Im wondering if the dye from the basket on those would interfere with the plants? Not sure probably now but just a though. Those are really pretty though and when you get plants in there they will really pop!
