Cages for Flowers

I had an Urban Adventure Day in which I visited Portland with my gardens foremost on my shopping list. I found a wire wastebasket at the Architectural Salvage store which I will upend to create a support for vines. This will be a flower cage in addition to the skirt around the metal chicken which is already assembled and waiting for May. In my fantasies, soil temperatures have risen, frost is past and I concoct the perfect blend of seaweed mulch and compost underpinnings and add to that nicked and soaked seeds. Morning glory, moonflower and nasturtiums should give me something to admire 24-7. The wire mesh will protect the seedlings from the deer and also from the slugs. The vines will flourish within their cages, climb and emerge, climb more and twine more and re-emerge, and, of course, blossom profusely. This is a dream and one is allowed to orchestrate those from beginning to end.
