Thanks everyone for your support and suggestions. I did manage to remove the broken vase and replace it. It's all back together now. I have a concrete birdbath that I was using as a platform. The totem fits perfectly inside of it. My husband and I decided that we will fill it with sand and perhaps place some river rocks on top of the sand. Hopefully this will keep it stable. It has now become a challenge to outsmart those pesty squirrels. My only objection is that the birdseed has gotten quite expensive and the squirrels are little piggies.

Okay, we'll let this one die a natural death. I'm going for option 4 while everything's growing like mad...

I'm looking for the following tomatoes: Mortgage lifter Black Cherry Prairie pride Centennial Rocket Charlies red staker Brandywine Manitoba Sweetie Hanging basket types-tumbler, totem, tumbling red Thanks, growjo

Tom, I will bring you aster plants - the mom plant sends out lots of shoots after she is done blooming. And then, when the young pups are done blooming, they too send out pups - so the population grows rather well :) I have QW vine, but unfortunately, this year, due to the nasty weather, it froze to the ground :( It is finally starting to coming back from the roots and has a long way to go. Anna is , I think, a bit more south of us, so her vine did much better through the winter.... Does anyone know the name of this plant? I forgot! And does anyone have it in other colors? I particularly have been looking for blue, not sure if I will ever find it :) From Backyard Summer 2008
