Granny's gone and done it again

Hubs got the frames built for my cucumber trellis system for the garden. I got the panels stained so he can get the fencing put on them tomorrow. Pretty amazing, all the materials used are from repurposed stuff that was given to us. Even down to the nails. Sister & BIL deck material is the wood used. The 2x2 welded wire fencing material was put in the recycling area at hubs works by another employee. The nails are leftover from a job hubs did for someone a year or so ago & the stain is leftover from doing our deck & coops. So 0 out of pocket expense :yesss:

There are 3 panels that will go end to end & joined by some large nuts & bolts that hubs got from his shop when they were throwing away a bunch of stuff.
Great work:thumbsup

It is some sort of Penstemon. They vary in color. Called wild foxglove, praire foxglove, praire penstemon.

And Pert, you were asking about a wildflower. It looked familiar, but I never could find it.
Something like this.
Every time I got the camera out, the wind came up... little blurry, sorry.

Think what you showed might be some relation to this Penstemon. If you post the picture again I might be able to find what it is.
Pretty:)
 
I need a work crew! :lol:


Those are pretty... it's my favorite color scheme... pinky-apricot. I have 4 roses started from the old farm rose (Sutter's Gold) that are very similar in color (and smell good)

My hubs was a pool boy! :cool: He was still in high school, before we met.


Sounds like you need to go on strike!
My dad said he never understood how much my mom did until she wasn't there to do it anymore.


Very pretty!
Wow:wee
