This weekends project

Michael picked this trailer load of curly willow a couple of weeks ago.  Found it listed on Craigslist.  He actually helped the guy pull the tree up.  He took a few of the bigger pieces and planted them so we’ll have some fresh for the store every year!

Now we just have to figure out how to ‘package’ this stuff up so it’s ’sale-able’! 

I’m thinking we have enough to make a couple of ‘trees’ by bundling up a big batch and putting it in a plastic bucket of concrete.  Then a bunch in smaller bundles tied up with twine.  Most of it will probably go to the spring shows.  Just don’t have room for a while lot of it at the store.

 I WISH we had a higher ceiling at the store and I could hang it from the ceiling! 

Garden protrait

I love using unusual fixtures in my garden.  Came across this darling idea on another site:

 And this pot arrangement is just TOO fun!

We’ve always got lots of left over rebar around here.  Even built a gazebo out if it a couple of years ago.  The plan was to transplant the grapes grwoing on the side of the workshop to around the rebar gazebo frame.  But alas, I needed more storage room for my projects for the store and ‘flat’ land is scarce around here (we live on a hillside) so the gazebo project was sacrificed for a new storage shed.  sigh
