At the end of the May, Andy and I went to Texas for a wedding. Apparently, it got hot here...Really hot. The critters came out of their hidey-holes too. In March, I planted cabbage and a pretty large variety of lettuces. I had a lot of success with lettuce a couple years ago; we had fresh salad for weeks. When we got back from our trip, the cabbages were moth-eaten, and some varmint ate the tops off all my lettuces! Crap. There went my food. Andy's hops took a big hit as well. He had to cut them down and let them start over (they will send up shoots again if you prune).
So to compensate, I put plants in containers. Hardy plants. The kind that don't die even if you forget about them for a week. Enjoy some pictures.
