Make homemade plant supports out of colorful fruit and vegetable cans. Look for canned goods with pretty labels. Use a can opener to remove the top and bottom, leaving smooth edges. Then poke a hole on one side of the can and slip a plastic-covered plant tie through. Secure the tie to a thick stick or bamboo plant stake in such a way that you can slide the can up or down the stake as needed. In use, you’ll stick the stake into the ground next to a young plant, guiding the shoot through the can. As the stem grows taller, slide the can upward to provide continuing support |

Fact / Quote of the Day 
“I like to think a flower opens itself to outgrow its ‘plantedness’. That it yearns to be ‘carried away’.”
