I am gone from about 6:30AM and get home at 6PM M-F so this year I just planted 6 bell pepper plants since I wasn't sure how much time I would have to tend a garden.  The first week the rabbits ate 3 of the plants.    Now they are doing well and flowering so I am hoping to see some produce on them soon.  I planted lavendar geraniums, spikes, and ivy in an old wash tub.  We have hostas, peonies, and lilies that come back every year that are planted around our whole house.  I think next year if all goes well with the peppers I will plant bell peppers, tomatoes and jalepenos for salsa.
