While things are under construction, I had the need to grow something. I had several pots on our deck in which I managed to grow some tomatoes, cucumbers, sugar snap peas and green beans. Very meager compared to our usual hall, but something.
I needed to have some bulbs coming up in the spring so I purchased the remnants of Bay Hay and Feed's red tulips and planted them in the space by the front walk. Despite my neighbors predictions, the deer did not eat them and they were wonderful. I think that they are now on the deer's radar and will not be so lucky this year.
Our friends, the Koskis visited in July. You can see the fuscias and nasturtiums in the back ground.
October is as nice as the porch looked. In front are a few of the new plants I have been collecting in anticipation of an actual garden. We kept the plants in a "nursery" area next to the garage, protected by a Scarecrow sprinkler. It is activated by motion. That was the only way we managed to keep some things from being eaten to nothing. Of course, we forgot to turn it on a few times and some things have suffered. The fuscias on the porch were browsed several times.
