This is what used to be the iris planter. It’s now weeded and ready for tomatoes in the spring.

This is the second tomato planter.

And I’ll plant spinach and lettuce in this planter. All three are filled with Mel’s Mix.

This is where some of the iris plants ended up.

This is a tall planter beside the front porch.

And this one is in the front yard, to the other side of the front porch.

I also cut the elephant ear plants down as far as I could. I’m starting to cram as many leaves as I can get in that planter between now and the first real freeze, with all appendages crossed that it will be enough to protect them until they hopefully start shooting leaves up again in the spring.

The rest of the pretty blooms on the tulip tree will probably be blown or rained off today and tomorrow, so I got a last pic.

The wisteria has done well this year. It is fuller and more lush every day. I don’t know how it will fare in the storm, but we’re lucky to have had this beauty for as long as we have this year.

The twice-blooming iris is really doing its thing now. All up and down one side of the driveway, too, and in several places in the yard. They will bloom again in October.

These are the two tomato planters I’ve been weeding, then adding potting soil to in order to get them ready for tomato plants. I’m hoping to be able to plant Thursday, or into the weekend, assuming the storms have abated.

Finally, this is Amber, who never misses a chance to ‘go’ anywhere, whether it’s on foot or in the car. She was a bit disappointed that it was a walking trip this time, but was quite companionable, nonethelesss.
