They are in the ground

Planted 1 in each of the barrels on the deck and planted 5 on a fence line. Installed wire cages and 3 strands of electric fence on both sides. Bring it Bambi.

Those in the barrels look cool. Are you going to let them run on the porch rails?

As for Bambi, I got a 6mm that would take care of that problem. And it would give you a good meat dish to go with a nice red wine......

Yes there is a rail between the upper deck and lower deck. I'm going to train them on that one.

Thanks, we love our composite deck ... Wife and I did it with no other help. It's 30 x 22 ... that's where we live. No need for a house, other then to sleep.

WOW Rick, what a place. Those barrels look like they are brand new. Are they filled solid with dirt or half gravel? I sure could see you out there relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

 

[ibglowin]

Where is the snow, no signs of snow.......

Solid dirt ... I wanted to give these a chance to produce some grapes. I was told container plants won't produce. I'm going to prove them wrong.

Nice place Rick, looks like a fine place to sit, sip some wine and watch the grapes grow ... if it gets too hot on the deck, you could always add a misting system to keep you and the grapes happy.
We don't need misting systems here in Washington, they're built in.

... I like your determination regarding, "I was told container plants won't produce. I'm going to prove them wrong". Perhaps since you know a bit about hydroponics, you'll pull this off without a hitch.

Those barrells are beautiful. I don't think I would have put dirt in them they look so nice. Growing grapes is fun to do.

 

[rhoffart]

Thanks Larry and Dave ... yes misters are a must when it get 100 plus, which is common. I have a few of them and tie them to a fan when it gets too hot.
