Building Makeshift Trellis For Green Peas and a Table with Recycled Wood - May 18th 2018

With Indigo keeping watch, I broke down a bunch of box frame type pallets into the pieces they were constructed with using a crowbar and hammer. Leaving all the rusty nails in the boards as is.

I then used the remained chicken wire I had from the farm fencing to construct the arch. The wire already had an intense curve tension going... so I used that to my advantage to create the arch over the mound and green peas.

For the second trellis, I had used a hoola hoop, cut in pieces as support for the chicken wire, since the piece of chicken wire used had to be stretched and turned on an angle to have enough length to perform the function desired, it was floppy and would not form an arch on its own..

For the table... I matched the pieces with their correct sizes and began hammering in the smaller pieces that still had their rusty nails in them... which quite easily reattached the boards together..and with a few of them doing the same job, made sturdy enough structure to hold my plants for a few weeks.

Today the atmosphere was cloudy all day, and the wind really was beginning to howl by the end of the day. Temperatures were a bit cooler in the 60's today.. but I enjoyed that very much working outside.
