A lot of projects on a backyard farm start small then get out of control. Watch how a $10 kiwi plant from Lowes explodes into a major project involving time and money.
Oh yes a common story here!!! I bought Kiwi last year and then found out they had to trellis. Mine are a variety that self pollinates so no need for male/female plants. I potted them in a large pot on the deck and put up a small trellis. They amazingly survived this winter and came back gorgeous. I am going to allow them to trellis down my deck posts! Well....at least this is my plan. We'll see if it works. But I might have to use an extension ladder to pick them! Always a story in this farming experience. Always!
Thanks for the laugh! Every project we have started has started as a "cheap" DIY project so we can totally relate to this! We'll be eating years worth of backyard eggs to pay for the start up costs of our coop! LOL

Can you say Anaphylactic shock 5 times quickly?
I can't say it once slowly.
