    An old iron cot frame. I have another one just like it without the springs. I want to make two arbors with them, but have to finish taking off the springs of this one first, and get 8 poles to hold them. I found this one in my woods recently, and hauled it home. I forget where the other turned up. I will post pics of the wagons when I have them planted. I hope to plant one this week, not sure about the other one yet. I have yet to find the poles for the arbors.

    Those wagon beds are ideal for planting. Will you be drilling holes in the bottoms of them for drainage? I'm looking forward to seeing them when you've put the plants in. Fingers crossed you'll get your posts soon as I'd like to have a look at the arbours your going to make with them and the cot frames.

    The wagon beds already have holes in them from rust, so I figured that I would not need to make more holes? Hopefully, I can find some poles this summer and make those arbors.

    Can't wait to see those wagons filled with beautiful plants. I bet that trellis is going to look and work great.

    I got the one wagon bed planted last night, and took its picture today. Now I am having problems uploading it from my camera into my computer. I will try again tomorrow. For some reason, I have been having problems lately uploading pics from the camera into the computer?
