Why Is This Thing Hanging On Our Wall?!

We found this wonderful thing at a yard sale recently - some sort of small metal trellis with an addition to hold a planter. I had no idea where I would put this when I bought it, but the price was right and I just HAD to have it..... I hung the thing on the wall in the basement, beside another yard sale find, a wonderful old piece off an organ. Why would a person hang such a thing on their basement wall? I'll give you a hint: The ping pong table is nearby.....

Did you guess why I hung this on the wall? Here's a picture of the trellis/planter in use:

I am soooooo smart!!!! Susan

Boat Oar Trellising

When we needed trellising for my husband's berry vines, we used old boat oars. I have no idea where we got the oars; they were sitting around in the garage, so we put them to use!! 

Please note the rain barrels. There are two of them to the right in this photo, above. Bill set up a system whereby, when the first rain barrel gets full, the water pours into a second barrel!
