Messy Messy Fail - In an effort to save money this summer (and because I didn't see any that I liked), I tried to put together my own hanging baskets for the front porch. It's a very shaded area so there's a limited amount of flowers that will do well. The first set of impatiens I planted in the baskets ended up turning very yellow, aka too much water and not enough light. The second attempt I used new guinea impatiens that were on sale, but I think I must have missed watering a few of the containers because they somewhat dried out before I even got them in the planters. So long story short - I wasted two sets of hanging baskets. Bravo.
Tidy Victory - Our pumpkin patch is doing FANTASTIC this year. So far we have TONS of large Connecticut field pumpkins, pink pumpkins, hubbard squash, some gourds and bunch of other varieties that I just don't know the name of. Oh - and blue/green pumpkin. Love it!
