Return of the Tipsy Pots

The tipsy pots are back! This time I used a 3/8" by 48" piece of rebar instead of fencing material I found last year. Much better this way. Easier to put together, seems sturdier, too.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I went with a purple and green theme this year, choosing some deep purple petunias, some lime green sweet potato vine, and some other perennials that were $1.39 at our local hardware store.

My latest wishlist item: a Canon EOS Rebel 40D. J. has been issued this camera for work purposes. He asked me to help him get acquainted with it and now I can't seem to keep my hands off of it. It lets me do things like this:

The focus isn't great (it was windy and I was rushing it), but there's no way I can get that with the Powershot. Ah, for a spare $1500.

I've seen those tipsy pots... Very Cute! And it works okay? I must try it. ;-)

It works fairly well. My only comment is that I think the pots on top tend to dry out easily, since they're smaller pots. I set up near a spot that is easy to water for that reason.
