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!
Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #441
Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #441 - Katie here from Love My Messy Messy Mess with my 3rd week hosting the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party for August. MAN this summer is flying by so fast!
Summer is winding down but honestly, September is one of my FAVORITE months here in western New York. It tends to be warmer, usually a bit on the drier side, but oh-so beautiful as we begin to welcome fall. What's your September weather like where you are?
