They just took off in September, probably because of the heat! Can only see the pots from the back.

Thanks Debbie and Judith, they are great for small spaces. I saw it in a garden magazine about 20 years ago.
It's a 6 foot rebar stake with 1 foot hammered in the ground. It's great, grows vertical in a small space. I like things close to my patio for me to water.
Still have the same stake, but had to replace some pots over the years.

I do take them off the bar in winter.

Stealing this idea. What is the cascading plant with little round leaves?

Judith, that's Creeping Jenny. It comes back every year, great ground cover too. and spreads fast. Easy to pull up where not wanted. It sprouts from leaf to leaf, not from the root.
Connie

Here is another pot. It's been coming back in this same pot for about 8 years. I cut it back to the top after the first freeze.

Ooo Connie, I like that plant. Especially how it grows. I will have to look into these for the yard.

Thank you Krista! Creeping Jenny is so easy to grow! It thrives in pots just as well as in the ground.so does Lantana! Lantana can take the heat!!

Thanks Winnie, they usually will hang on till the first hard frost.
This year, with the heat, I lost many pots much sooner.
