Who's the big pastel pink monster, Viking? I like your tripod supports.

That is Gitt's Perfection from Swan Island. The tripodes save those Dahlias when the cats knock them down. It keeps all the plant tegeather with the bucket it is in. I have a lot of maple splings around here. So I let them grow till they are big enough to use as stakes.

Hi Viking

My Gitts is barely more than a big fat opening bud. Shows what a difference 50 miles makes.

The tripods are an excellent idea. Are they anchored inside the pot and if so how?

I am still in love with those big fat square wooden planters you have off to the right in the first picture. Any interest in building a couple more....(for a pal, hmmmmm)?

My best regards to your spouse,

Lucinda

The tripods are just stuck in the soil. But most of those pots are over 12 inches deep. That gives the tripodos a lot of support. I tryed selling my home build pots to my neighbors for fifty dollars. The wood cost me around $23 at Lowes. They just laughed at me. They are way to heavy to ship at reasonable cost. I will tell the wife you asked about her. Thanks those kind of things make her happy. As well as all the kitties eatig treats out of her lap.
