61deg here. 1/4” rain. I went out a checked the plants; they have grown at least 2” since yesterday in the RCG. The ground level garden, GLG, is looking real good, got blooms on a mater, but I could not read the name tag from the edge of the plot. My guess is it’s an Early Girl.

I never have gotten the cattle panels, so just to be cheep, I may build wood trellis similar to the one sockmonkey linked to, only build it 8ft tall. I just don’t know yet.

Well, cattle panels are kinda heavy, ao the trellis is probably the way for you to go to save your body some pain. I did look at those trellises the other day in person. The hinge is just a piece of plastic about the thickness of the lids on store bought potato salad.

I want one more cattle panel, but I need to cut down some ligustrums that have turned into trees first as they will block the morning sun.

I have two panels, with rebar stakes on the outside to hold them, and about 19" between the cattle panels, and that allows room for the 10 & 15 gallon smart plants between them. Also, I want to put trellis up the back end of them so it can be tromboncino cucczza mania, and also make a nice shady spot for cats.
