I recycle !!

Unique "trellis."

Extention pipe original location.

Threaded pipe.

Topsy-Turvy hangers

A-frame plant hangers.I get a sense of satisfaction when I recycle unique things into serviceable items.  The “dog fence” became a trellis.  (Well, it will be a trellis when Sweet Peas climb on it next Spring and Summer.)  Yesterday I was able to use the unused threaded pipe, from the dog fence, as an extension between the two A-frame plant hangers.  Furthermore, the actual plant “hangers” were salvaged from last years totally worn out Topsy-Turvy upside-down planters.  See the identical on the new Topsy-Turvy upside-down tomato planter.  ~~  Remember, I recycled baby-bed-springs for another trellis?!  ~~  So you see I’m not limited to rescued plants, or remodeled satellite dishes.  I save coffee grounds from my office (for the garden).

It was a cloudy day, with a modest half-inch of rain.  The temperature reached 70 degrees.  (Tomorrow: only 60 degrees–with abundant rain.) It was pleasant in the yard this afternoon as I sprinkled grass seed and covered it with planter soil (the last of the seed).  It is a mystery to me why I didn’t plant the area near the Bluebird house when I planted grass seed directly outside my patio doors. There’s an old saying Too soon old, too late smart.”
