In an attempt to save money and enjoy more fresh-from-the-garden taste this summer, I've planted fresh annual herbs in my herb garden, as well as some tomatoes, lettuce and other greens, and peppers in my hanging garden (formerly a swingset!).
Last year, I found that hanging the basil kept the rabbits out--they weren't leaving me much. It worked out quite well--especially not having to kneel or squat to pick basil! Since I don't use the swingset, and it is firmly placed, I'm using it as a pergola of sorts. One of these weekends I'll get around to painting it plain green to reduce its incongruousness (I have the paint--baby steps), and maybe next year I'll replace it altogether with a dozen shepherd hook plant hangers.
