At a local resale shop I found garden ornaments and tomato cages for the next trip to Ohio for gardening projects.

ONe brand new cage will go to support the peony bush I;m movingm ilater years' growth.

The other 8 tomato cages will make two low, conical towers (in scale with the property). These are in place of hugely expensive towers I've seen there, made from greenwood wound into a cone.... what I will do is train the ubiquitous vine that grows there, onto these towers.

As each season's growth dies and dries, they will accumulate to form a base for vines I'll plant later, when I move them to their eventual, non-symmetrical planned locations; for now one each will go in front of two weathered (gray) lattice panels that front the patio and frame the driveway's end/patio's start.

As they'll be nakedly unsightly at the start, spraypaint will be involved to make them all match to a white finish. After that it's up to Mother Nature to color them!
