10.25 PM and I thought the only people who might be as excited as I am right now are people here on Planta. I’ve been unemployed since 2020 due to multiple 2020 events. The Sheriff sold my house in November and I’m currently a squatter and nail the sheriff serves me an eviction notice. Money is tight. Very tight. While walking around my neighborhood I strolled through a plant store and day dreamed. In the back of the store, they had trellises and trellis like outdoor items. Now I have a pencil cactus that’s growing really tall and it needs a steak to keep it straight. I thought having a trellis for it would be cool. Unfortunately, the cost for a trellis was not possible for me to pay for. One of the trellises that they were selling was interesting. It was made of bamboo. They were selling bamboo steaks for two dollars each so four dollars for two. Looking at the trellises, and looking at the bamboo stakes, I realized that I could build that expensive trellis that they were selling. So for those two bamboo poles, I took the package of 100 skewers I have had since 2015 & never used, and my Dremel, and TADA! The trellis I made after paying $4.00 for the bamboo stakes! (I plan on trimming down the sides in the morning.)
