With everyone's encouragement I forged forward and just did it... now I realize the fretting was needless.

I really like the idea of adding the chair to add visual interest. I"m a little behind you - I got my vegetables in the ground this weekend.

I can't grow tomatoes here (not enough sun) but when I did grow them, I used these really nifty green velcro strips from a garden center. They're re-usable for years and years, and they're unobtrusive. <BR/><BR/>I've also used green twist ties and green yarn.

All of the northern veggie gardeners will be salivating just seeing these pictures. I on the other had am drawn to the chair in your veggie garden.

My tomato plants are a good 4" tall in the greenhouse at the moment. It is much too early to even plant squashes outside here. I have just planted some okra seeds in a heated propagator in the greenhouse in the hope that they might at least germinate.Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.com
