Help! Hanging basket has droopy plants Hi all, I've planted out some #aubrieta and #candytuft in a hanging basket for the summer and up until now they've been growing amazing! No flowers yet but lovely strong stems. Come back from work today and they're all sad and droopy! Is it from the mad rain, been a while since a nice sun spell? Am I not watering enough? What can I do to help it thrive? TIA
