Making, Crafting, Creating... aka Whatcha workin' on?

Fake bamboo for the pole beans. Real bamboo was too short and too expensive, so I made my own. I also assumed my neighbors might whine about seeing a bunch of white pipe which is why I camouflaged them as bamboo.

3/4" schedule 40 PVC, $1.40 for a 10-foot length. I cut it down to 7 feet, then wrapped green garden twine around it every 1 foot. The knots were secured with a dab of gorilla glue.

A spray of olive-drab paint. Probably should have removed all the print with acetone and roughed it up with sandpaper, but I didn’t bother.

Ready for the beans.
