I finally potted up my hanging basket at the weekend but I think it may still be too cold up north to hang it out. Also I'm not sure whether I used enough lobelia plugs for the really full look i wanted (can't really see in the picture but I staggered them with one in each opening) but time will tell I guess.
No hanging baskets here but we have some wall mounted planters with ferns, to break up the brickwork. Why not do a basket in a shady area with ferns, hostas, etc. An evergreen fern, such as Dryopteris erythrosora would give you year round interest.

Depends how far north you are. I am in central Scotland and wouldn't put tender plants out until last week in May, first week in June.
Definitely not yet, still frost forecast for the majority of the UK in the next few days.
