A few steps of the restoration processes for a Early 1900’s Kendrick & Davis Watchmakers Staking Set for beginners. From the initial inspection to the finished product. These early 1900’s starter sets are some of my favorites to work on. Initial inspection after opening the package. by @bigwrench_va

Almost got it ready to enjoy. Put up some cattle panel trellising and added a gate. Cucumbers, squash and tomatoes are really exploding. Ended up with 30’ of gutters full of strawberries, around 95 total strawberry plants in containers and gutters. The bamboo sticks are to remind me where the carrots are 😂. Concord Grape vine taking off and still have to build an arbor or trellis system for it. 2 half whiskey barrels and a 20 gallon tub to fill and decide what to grow in it. Thinking of filling the last elevated bed with collards 😋. taken in Lebanon, Virginia by @bigwrench_va

Continuing the garden adventures with the help of @grays_ol & @wrenchgal . Heavy emphasis on Gutter-Grown Strawberries this year. We got the gutter ideas from @saltyacresnc. Had a curious snake come checking things out and had to relocate it. I think/hope it was a corn snake 😂 😳 🐍 . One more planter to get installed and some trellises for climbing plants. by @bigwrench_va
