Hi! Di!

Re: #8 the picture with the teepee sticks in the garden... What plants are those built for? What a great idea for a trellis!

In VA/WV/MD, those three pole “teepees” are for beans. Plant beans at the base of each pole, and the plants will climb the pole. Keeps them up off the ground, away from pests and rot.

Pole Beans would be my first guess. You could use shorter ones for cucumbers.
