This may not be new, but I found it in my newest issue of Garden Gate Magazine.

Get a piece of rebar long enough to go through all the pots. High enough to fit up into the last pot. Put the rebar into the bottom pot and through the hole. This pot sits on the ground. Then place one pot onto the rebar leaning it to one side. Put the next pot on and lean it the other direction and keep going.

Going to try this one this year. Wait - that means I have to but more plants??
Oh dear, how to get them into the yard in secret, if you know what I mean?

I did that last year- it's really neat, but pretty hard to water to water well (it sort of acts like a water feature running down ). I haven't done it yet this year, but I plan to, but after adding those water retention crystals to the mix.
I'm lucky- my hubby doesn't notice new plants- even 6 ft tall houseplants

My neighbor has already gotten her rebar and pots all ready for plants. I will sneak a picture in the next few weeks. Linda B

Looks like a Kitten Jungle Gym to me. With my kittens, that would NEVER survive. I like the idea, though! Maybe, when they grow Old?

What a cute idea! That would be pretty with all fuchsia in it, too. Great idea.
