Today ’s photos are from Cindi Martin in Chambersburg , Pennsylvania . Cindi says,“Every year we summate to our yard . This yr we are looking forward to enjoying the thousand much longer with the former springiness . We seek to recycle things in a very unique way . The corn cot used for our gazebo get from a booster ’s farm when they sell out . My married man exercise for a feed James Mill which glow down 2 old age ago . They were sound to put away of the conveyor belting with buckets . He asked if he could have it and they said sure . He convey it home and we made peachy use of it .
“ Last twelvemonth was a tryout of sampling what would rise . This year my married man hung 8 strips ( 5 buckets each ) on a frame and we now have 40 buckets of little red potato grow . By the closing of the calendar month , we will be eating them – Yum ! We used other strips at the post that supports the service department doorway and another on the gazebo . These have pansies in them for now , and later I ’ll plant them with sweet potato vine and million bells . ”
So cool , Cindi ! Your own version of vertical horticulture !
