Just saw this at my local Home Goods store, it's marked at $399. Not your average moongate (see a close picture below). The one I saw is exactly as in the picture. There are actual iron plant stands between the feet - can't see them in this picture, but they are there. The feet also have like 8" x 6" welded plates with bolts - to bolt it down to concrete or stone or whatever. Black powder coated, the ribs are like 1.25" diameter if not 1.5". This looks like it could easily hold up a house eater for sure. HUGE 8.5' tall. BEAUTIFUL... (on sale or $1,200, Az, Wayfr, etc. all around $970 or so!) I want this thing and have no idea where I'd put it in my small garden space.
Anyone else have a moon gate arbor? Like it? Dislike it?

How to you hide / conceal your garden hose? PIC
Comments (49)I'm going to not have to worry about this til spring now. But I have 3 options that I can consider... 1) I bought this a while back. Since it's going to go more or less by the evergreen in the corner next to where the deck starts, it could blend in better than the next option below. I only wish this had some type of a hose winder, pain to try and put it back each time with my length of hose. http://www.amazon.com/Yard-Butler-HCF-3-Standing-Garden/dp/B000CZ2XRQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321707766&sr=8-1 2) Hose box - bulkier than above, beige color, but winds up easily, sit sprayer on top 3) Use neither of the above in that location. Why I didn't think of this before, maybe my mind is going worse than I think it already has. Take the longest hose I have and hook it to the faucet on the right side of the house, which is right behind the lattice that's now up under the deck. I had one put in, right to the left of the door to the crawl space in the pic posted on Nov 11th, bascially to the very left of that picture. I think the hose I have could be used almost all the way around the house if there. Can't remember the length, but it's pretty long. Will measure it and see if it's a possibility that could work. That way, no need to wrap up more than 1 hose and it would be hidden and not be an issue. Here's hoping!!! I can keep a smaller hose on the first option just long enough to do the very front of the house, in which case, it's length would be a breeze to wrap up after use. Thank you all for racking your brains with me! On to the next problem.......See MoreShow Me Your Trellis
Comments (103)The trellis I use - now in it's 7th season: 2 arches of (zinc galvanized) iron pipe 1 wooden beam approx 5 m (which is the max. length) 2 screws and nuts to fasten it on top of the arches 10 m stronger wire 20 hooks 2 wire fasteners 20 tent pegs cheap synth. clothes line (40 - 50 m for my size) 1.80 to 2 m above ground height (that I can harvest inside without too much trouble) 20 - 30 cm go in the soil (until the strengthening) 80 cm width beam has holes as has arch on it's top screw&nut will do it (connect the things) I have several holes in the beam that I can adjust to the variable length of my patches the beam is high enough that if it reaches out noone can bump his head on it there are small holes in the arches at the hight of the upper stiffener . I put the wire from one to the other arch and tighten with wire fastener. gives more rigidity and spreads the clothes lines out. gives easier access to the inside of the dark tunnel of beany goodness (for harvest) hook every 40 cm clothes line from hook to tent peg in ground. I have them a bit outside the arch baseline, approx. 1 m apart (remember arches are 80 cm) here's a picture from another year: Fitz...See MoreWhat decorative items do you have in your potager?
Comments (31)I wonder if that store just started carrying them. Cuz it sure didn't show up in any of the searches I did. Not that it would have mattered. It's just like the store I bought them from. I wanted to find that Oregon sculptor and buy directly from her at a lesser price. Or find something similar at a fraction of the price! But your friend is very good at internet searching!!!...See MoreWhere Are Your Talent Genes? Decorating? Baking? What?
Comments (34)I don't know if I have a particular "God given talent", but the things I enjoy doing, I seem to do well at. I've always had an interest in decorating, and my first project was in Home Ec, decorating my bedroom. I was always moving things around at home, and would tell Mom if I didn't like a lamp, paint color, furniture, or whatever. When I married, and was 'on my own' I was always aware of how my house looked, and not having a lot of money, would put things on layaway. Writing/i'm very descriptive! Flower arranging/this is something I do a lot for others as well as myself. I find it goes hand-in-hand with decorating, and love to 'put something together' when I get the chance. Painting/took lots of lessons, and at least know brush strokes. Haven't painted anything but furniture or walls in years. Singing/I *love* to sing, mainly in the car. I can reach some pretty high notes. I sang in the church choir when I was a kid, but didn't look forward to going to chrch, just singing. LOL Dancing/I can boogie-down with my 3 DD's pretty well! I took ballet lesson with my youngest DD several years ago and still remembered 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th position as well as tour jete, and plie'. I was still fairly light on my feet! DD found it difficult, and we only took 6 weeks of lessons. Sewing/sewed a dress for a beauty pageant oldest DD had entered years ago, and almost all her clothes in seventh grade. About the only thing I sew now are hems, on the machine, but will be attempting slipcovers for slipper chairs soon. Gardening/fairly successful w/Roses and various flowers, especially wild flowers. I don't have too many things die, unless it's lack of water! LOL Cooking & baking/great cook, too lazy to do much baking. I don't uses 'boxed' mixes, only cakes and brownies. I'm a 'from scratch' cook. Fashion/I worked in ladies ready-to-wear for 20+ years, so feel I have a very good sense of fashion, and what works for me and what doesn't. I don't spend as much $$$ as I used to, cause I would rather buy things for the house. Since i'm no longer out there working, I can save a lot! Most of all, I have a real passion for the things I do enjoy, and always put 100%+ into it! I have an antique space at a local antique mall, and find that's become my creative outlet for a lot of things. I get many compliments, which makes me want to do more, so I feel my efforts are not in vain. ;o)...See More
