Thanks! And perhaps I'll wait for spring then, or use some small established plants from the nursery until it gets too cold.

I'm not sure about the burlap. I'm thinking it'll rot away after a couple of years. Maybe some good quality weed cloth instead? Go with starts for this year! Nancy

just asking. that wood looks more like fencing bd rather than posts. If Im looking correctly. But wow looks good. Are thy stained or painted and what type of wood do you think they are? Yeah, I wanted to do cedar boxes but not done so yet.GOT THE WOOD ETC BUT GOT SO MANY PROJECTS ALREAY.. excuse my typos still trying to get used to the Mac laptop keyboard..the touch pad etc is so touchy...Rah>>>>

Hi Jeanwedding,
Thanks. These are made from picket fence boards and pieces of criss-cross lattice, they looked like this:

I removed nails, scrubbed with deck cleaner, sanded, cut, and stained them, then screwed everything together and bought specialty brackets. I actually took pictures of the whole process if you're curious. It was worth it but I probably won't be making any more. I do wish they were cedar but waterproofing stain is good enough.

Not trying to nit pick. BUT. yeah what confused me was the word "posts" in your description.... instead I though they looked more like fencing boards...

.WE had the same type fencing we put up many years ago in our former home. I helped Hubby redo lots of it over the many years. during the many years we lived there .

when we were prepping to move and when we originally installed the fencing

matter of fact I as probably the one to go get such. LOL

But I think you did a Fabulous job and I luv repurposing good stuff...too. Take care and hope you stuff grows fabulously as one gardener to another;;...I hope to do the same next season...thee is something so satisfying about growing our own stuff....
