A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Flower Arches and spinner , I put up today..

Hd helped me put up my arches today .. He made me the white one, I bought the green on e serveral years ago, $5.00 and it had no hardware.. Hd found me some this week and it cost another 4..

The chimes on the green one is from one of the seeds swappers, and the Red spinner is one I purchased at an Indian festival in 2007.






Now it is supposed to snow sunday.......wah

DOdge I LOVE that Humming bird Spinner!! I remember it when you bought it! what are you going to plant around the Arch???

Good memory,angel blossom.. I just put it all out today and some one asked to see it ..
I think it is adorable.. I bought my sister a john deere spinner for christmas and she went ape........She is a john Deere fan just like Bill. She said I can make my other sister jealous with that >>LOL

I love those arches and I remember the spinner too. I've got one now thanks to my daughter, Ginger.

Do you leave the green one against the house? The white one looks big.

Everyone loves my spinner.

I figured you mind remember.
Actually the white one is smaller than the green one.

Yes I am leaving that on by the house, I want my cypress vines on that cause they went ape in the part shade.. Looks dumb but my pleasure.

The other is my orchard entrance.. That one is 3 pieces.. i just adore it there.

What color spinner did you get/

Barb, they are really great! Makes it feel more like spring with them up huh? Too bad about the snow.....that stinks.

:ding:

Thanks Loz,

I love the arches in that shape..
I could not wait to put up the spinner.. It was in the attic all winter. Now I should of given a close up of the chimes.. One of the ladys on seed swap gave me that, I am so proud . It matched the arch perfect.. Both green.

flowers make my summer .......
Loz dont you have a spinner yet?
The one I bought my sis , was not as cute.. It didnt have scallops on the ends. I didnt realize that till I hit home.. However she love it .

I don't have a spinner like that Barb.....I do have a wooden one though, that's long and shaped like a spiral.

I need to get my grandson a John Deere one. He loves tractors.

Loz,
I think I know what one your talking of.

But do show us sometime.. Nothing like a good spinner.. I am dedicated to Hummers.Notice?

Sheri,
I found JD at the OCtober fest here in our village. it cost 2 dollars less here.

I will watch aroung again for JD .. Do you have a Tractor Supply story around you? I know they are hot on JD .. But not sure if they have a spinner.

Thanks all.

I love Hummingbirds too Barb!!! Nothing like a nice spinner or some windchimes! Bamboo windchimes are my favorite---I like the soft noise they make.

Aren't we awful with our toys?

Oh well , there are worse things.. His toys>.LOL

I

nice job

Very nice Barb.

You got tha right, Barb.

and I love your arches & spinners.--it gives me ideas---perhaps DH will make me an arch-------

Thanks Tam ?Juni. The white one is made of steel and doesnt rust away like the green one will. Cheap tin.. I went thru about 3 of those already.. I arent wild of the flat top ones.. However I did like the Oblique that Loz showed us.
You can make tose from copper tubing.. If you have access.
Use your imagination.

Barb, wax your green one with car wax...it won't rust that way. I use car wax on all my outdoor furniture.

Thanks Tamara,

I will try that ......

New to me..
Most of my furniture is plastic.. ha ha

I use it on plastic also. It stops the UV rays from eating it and making it weak.

Dodge---DH is a welder & he enjoys making me things out of metal. as long as I bring him a drawing he will make it for me.

tamara: thanks for the information. I will wax my stuff too. How will it owork on my tomato braces (they are not cages but L frames--DH designed them)

junigirl

Great .. It can be made more fancy, but I prefer teh pland Jane ones.

Plain Jane works for me too, dodge---I am just going to cover it up with vining flowers anyhow---

here is my spinner. it has the sun in the middle.



and this is my arch. It's old scaffolding.

That is some awesome scaffolding/arch, Sheri. I have a toprail gate thingy that is set up for the kids to climb up and down. They are getting a little old for it now. I might just grow something up it.

Sheri I love the spinner.. Yours ends are pointed.. bet it shimmers in the wind.
Wonder why they dont make those in a christmas design to hang out?
I'd get one.

I like your archway also ......Nice and sturdy fellow. Are you planting vines on it? I have all sorts of vines growing inside.. Some kind of sweet pea ones that seem real strong.

Junigirl.

Your could spray paint the gate any color you want to match the yard.. I did spray paint white one yesterday before I took the photo. Dollar can of paint.

Thanks for looking in on us......

I l

I got a spinner today! I'll take a pic of it soon!

I like yours Sheri, and the arch is nice!

Loz,,

Hip hooray, Welcome to the Spinner club......Wanna see it too.

Ok everyone else, get out there and find yourself a spinner and be a winner.

I've seen lot of spinners I'd love to have they just cost too much,, I could get a cheaper one,, But I'm looking for that 'Juuussst Right' one,, and at the right price. I guess that's the price I pay for being picky! I have to be with out one until that 'Juusst right' one comes along!

i just popped in here to see what the heck a spinner is and when i saw the first picture i said, out loud no less, now why the heck did she put a rear view mirror on that archway???? hoo boy, time to get my glasses fixed!

I enjoy you more without glasses.

Well I've just joined the "spinners club" today!

I received 2 very nice small spinners from a friend today. They were a thank you for feeding their outdoor cat while they were away in Disney World over the kids' spring break a few weeks ago. This friend even picked out the 2 things I really like - hummingbirds and suns! And of course they are blue! To go with all the other blue things in my gardens! Myrna is such a sweetie, isn't she?

Nice spinners Lynne,, She did an excellent Job picking them out for you,, How cool was that,, and Got two of them!!

WELCOME TO THE SPINNERS CLUB, PLANTS N'POTS......I have never seen a blue one .. I love them both..Yippe more spinner on here.
Thanks for sharing.. :ding:

That moon and sun is magnificant!

I too love the moon and sun one! I love spinners, but I think a lot of the time they are way marked up.

Right about making up.......Afer we compared that on here.
THey tried to sell me a hanger......I respectfully declined the offer.
You made out good Loz......Very cool.

Lynne--they are so nice!!! I love them. and yes I too am partial to teh sun-moon one.
