I finished off the first set of 3 arches for the Morning Glory's I'll be growing using the Masonry Ladders. I did one complete set to discoverer and fix any problems before I tackled the rest of them and to watch it for a week and see if anything comes apart, bends or bows. The first and pretty much only problem so far turned out to be that one post per masonry ladder side was not going to hold them because these are a foot higher than the old ones so I used 2 posts per side and I might even put in a 3rd.

Treated 6' pickets for a privacy fence were for the border boxes which are 4' x 1'. I found cheap swiffer knock offs at the dollar tree in which the metal poles were the right height and the swiffer part came off easily. At one buck a pop it was the cheapest way to go.

For those not familiar with my MG Project for this year, I'm planning to grow 24 different cultivars of MG this year. Here is the key for what I'll be growing

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
