Plans for my garden are constantly evolving. This morning I began to consider where I’d put perennial plants when we have frost. (With our scorching temperatures, I have to “think cool.”) There won’t be room in the storage building!! How will I cover them??  Specifically, the Cape Honeysuckle as it is growing tall rapidly. I’ve been uncertain where to mount the galvanized-pipe structure (originally designed for my Topsy-Turvy upside-down tomato planters). Today (in my mind’s eye) I saw the answer. Move the picnic table so it is neatly aligned with the two large trees. Put the two cement bases adjacent to the sidewalk and assemble pipe. Prior to freezing temperatures, I can move the planters and cover them with a tarp secured to the pipe between trees and the galvanized-pipe structure. A flat-roof “tent” structure. On a much smaller scale, I covered Verbena plants with a tarp in North Carolina. ~~ The “picnic” table may never see a picnic!! I’ve always considered it for plants.

With all that hard work (LOL), I spent the afternoon in my recliner, in the air-conditioned trailer!!

Ninety-five degrees as I publish this blog; ninety degrees this morning when I took pictures of the picnic table.
