Late summer randomness

These are the two cool hanging planters I got at Ikea. I had some herbs in them, but they promptly died. I don't think they got quite enough light... so now I have some lower light tolerant houseplants in them. Please ignore the mess on the porch...



I have a few peppers! Yay!


Pretty much all that's left in my garden: tomatoes, peppers, and some herbs.


My lantanas are doing great! They're supposed to be pretty drought tolerant, and they seem to handle the part shade well.



The horrid rabbits ate all of my pansies. All of them. So they aren't in this picture, but I did have lots of snapdragons and zinnias and a few day lilies. I think the tree grew because it's definitely more shady back there than last year!


I canned pears Monday. Woot woot. Only about 10 pints, but it took forever. I am not a fast pear peeler. I love summer. And freshly canned produce. Although, it makes for really long days when I don't start until after work and after supper....
Blessings.

"Cool" hanging planters? That is soooo last year. Apparently the rabbits missed a panz or two after all.

Yevgeny; you probably just got rid of a bunch of them at the shake didn't you... you know, switching out the 'dated' stuff.
