Now that I’ve built a deck, a fenced in yard, and various walls and beds around our tiny lot, I have a lot more space to get creative with growing more things. As such, I’ve been on a ‘treat yo’ self’ spree and have grabbed a few things to take advantage of our new space.
The list includes prior clearance deals on nice looking pots for the figs/pomegranates, [basket hangers,] (Amazon.com ), planter brackets for the deck railings, and planter box hardware to mount on the railing spindles.
I’m also waiting on our new 6 cubic foot Gorilla Cart.
I’m most excited for the railing mounted planter box hardware as it will provide privacy while increasing available space.

Things such as an aluminum ladder might end up in the trash and it can be re-purposed in a myriad of ways. For mine, I’m thinking it will become a black painted trellis for some sort of vines.
