Here it is! The pictures are a bit small/low quality, so here's what's in the satellite dish, that I can remember:
Wandering Jew, Passion Vine, English Ivy, Pothos, Spider Plant

I wasn't following what was going on with your dish....how did you get the mold off of it??

I looks like it will be really really nice when it starts growing more! Is there something planted around it to grow up the cords also??

Boxmonkey,
You did an awesome job with that,
Love the landscape fabric thumbup that looks
excellant!!!
The one here they had the whole thing filled with dirt *the satelite chair* PACKED WITH ANNUALS....

I think you did great with your plants...

Are there any annual climbing vines that you like
that you can shove in between the other plants to fill in until the other one's grow bigger....

There's some fast growers that can fill in areas' quickly.. Morning glories, climbing blackeyed susan vines, sweat peas, so many!!!
Might be an idea.....

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
*And thanks for the update...

Weezie

P/S What have the neighbors said, if anything??
Just curious???? lala

hummm... I got a couple old dishs. Was thinking about a bird bath, but this looks interesting...maybe a use for more of those purple hyacinth beans...

now all I have to do is find the poles they were standing on.

I know somwone who has the older type(not mesh)and he made a pond with his and grew roses all around it and made a roof over it like a gazebo with roses climbing up it.was some ivy also.He coated the inside of his with water sealer paint...KILTZ then added tidybowl(he don't have waterplants,but a few fish...no their not blue).

I thought of getting my neighbors dish and up turning it and growing wisteria over it.an arbor.you know...something for hubby to dodge when he hits it with mower.He will you know.

Weezie, the neighbors haven't said anything yet. They don't really talk to me.

I wonder why? sca
