We had an horrific storm and lost half a tree, surprisingly the pots faired pretty well. Now, re-staked the Hollyhocks...we will see if everything survives being flattened.

I've had to move everything I can to a raised deck. I'm spraying almost daily with garlic/pepper spray, and I have still lost most of my herbs, tomatoes, and tomatillos. They wipe things out overnight like hopping cutworms. Hopefully, next year will be easier. Have a great week!anneinthekitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883339821451166709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181238201239847317.post-32370665985651265582020-07-06T18:32:01.501-05:002020-07-06T18:32:01.501-05:00Sandi, you are working so hard on making the pots ...Sandi, you are working so hard on making the pots so beautiful!

That is terrific! I haven't been able to grow anything in years but it is fun to see what others have planted. I envy you your nice rhubarb! I have never been able to grow it because my hubby always ran over the plant with the lawnmower, so I finally gave up. But I am always able to get some from the grocery. I hope you do try my muffins and I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Thank you for your visit and have a marvellous week!
