Sounds great! I have a Bluebird house I want to put on one of mine. Do be sure and secure them to the ground. They are a bit top heavy as the base is so narrow.
I enjoyed the video, and they looked great. However, I have to say that at times my heart was in my mouth when your fingers got so close to the business end of the nail gun. Glad to see you came out of it unscathed.
Can someone here help me? I'm new to propagating and am looking into buying some cuttings, but everything I read says I need to keep them in 70f temps. How the heck do I do that? It's in the 90's outside and inside I'm not even sitting at 75f. Did I miss the window to pot these? It must be possible since they're still selling cuttings right now and you can't really store them in the fridge for more than 8 weeks, right?
I have never bought cuttings before so I am not sure. If you do get them and it is hot out just keep your newly potted cuttings in a shade area. I still take cuttings in summer and just keep them under a tree or on the north side of a building while they root.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Awesome, all I needed to know. Thanks for the reply. Yeah I've just got some of my cuttings today and basically am just either keeping them inside or in the shade, north side is definitely a good idea. I practiced with my own cuttings and was doing well until I put them in an area where it got too hot or they received too much sun. I've seen people root them in the ground, in sand, in peat, and use all types of hormones or no hormones so it got a bit frustrating. I think I have it figured out now. The weather really caught me off guard. Was weeks of rain and then just weeks of intense sun. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to keep some giant sequoias alive. I probably just didn't let them acclimate slowly enough.
I tried to make it as comprehensive as possible for those unfamiliar with building. It takes time for that so this is geared towards them which I know they will appreciate.
Pam this is fabulous content 👍🏻 I actually feel like I could do this without my husband's help but for sure with his tools 😁
You really can. I would only make them six feet though, I have found at 8 feet tall they are too tippy. Just to let you know.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse ok thank you 😊
You did a great job on these! I plan to build a couple this spring. My inclination is to put a bluebird house on top.

There is a safety on the nail gun that prevents my fingers from getting injured. But thank you.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too, I need to build a few more for some climbing roses I have.
Love these
They are fun and so much prettier than the cages.
Off topic, but can you tell me the variety of alliums in the background? The purple color is stunning!
I think they were Purple Sensation. I got them at Costco, they had a good sized bag for a very reasonable price. Longfield Gardens was the brand.

Do you have a 1 sheet instruction on measurements. This is awesome!
Not yet! I do have one that is a different size but similar build and it has dimensions.
Thank youuu
You're welcome!
Your video is good but a little long
