Thanks for the suggestions. This looks like a shoe rack, but the shoes would have to be a size 18 or so. I looked at the store display businesses online and didn't see one. It may have been custom made for a particular business. There are lots of store display items that would work for something like this. The curves can be sawed off to use it for a bottle tree or something else. I'll probably plant some plants in it besides the empty pots, and hadn't thought of the coconut hair. It would work nicely. Thanks for the weed cloth tip. Sounds like a good idea for any of these basket type plantings. Storing dolls or animals on it would be fun. They could be climbing every which way on it. It would be a good clothes line also. If we can get it together soon enough we may light it up in the front yard for Christmas. I spray painted it green today and will post a photo tomorrow on this thread. It looks a lot better already. It comes apart just by unthreading it off the pole. There are 3 sets of 2 levels. They're pretty stable and could be used separately on posts or a tabletop. It's amazing how many great ideas people here come up with. Now who wants to go on a dumpster store rack hunt, lol?!

I agree Strawberry! And it really helps to put something in a bush picture that includes scale (like a person) I have been reading what others in the general area have said about the size of their plants, most seem to be bigger than listed on hmf. I hate to put a plant in that I will have to fight with for space or peer over the railing and point it out. Everything I got is own root, so it can be in the main garden with the chickens or up by the house and protected. I would also like some nice views for the neighbors and a thorny reminder for midnight fruit pickers that the grocery store is a better spot for picking fruit. Plus I want a nice view from the house to the garden. Lots of place to put the ones I picked out, and if they are not suited to the prospective location....well shoot means I need to order a few more right!

A very impressive display. Is that actually a three headed plant or perhaps more? An old speciman never the less Thanks for sharing Scott.

Tomatoes in winter are always a wonderful surprise! I am overwintering two small container-grown tomato plants in my garage. These are plants that were transplanted into their containers last March or April. Both are small plants and they only produce small numbers of tomatoes--just a few cherry tomatoes a week, but they're better than having no tomatoes at all. Because we have cats and dogs who spend some time indoors, I don't even attemp to grow tomatoes indoors. I tried it for a couple of years, but didn't feel like it was worth the bother. Your results may vary. The plants in the garage get pretty cold at night because the garage is unheated, but it is pretty well-insulated. I drag the containers outside on sunny, warm winter days and then back into the garage every night. I know that if I forget to move them indoors, they'll freeze or something like a deer or rabbit will eat them at night. Once the nights are dropping below 55 degrees, the plants don't bloom or set new fruit very well, so the fruit I'm harvesting now were set in late October or early November when the nights still were fairly warm. After an 80-degree day last week, one of the plants bloomed, but I haven't checked to see if any of those blooms set fruit. The flavor of winter tomatoes is not as good as summer tomatoes, but they're better than grocery store tomatoes.
