Dumpster diving was an expression I had never heard until DG came into my life and I was sure it was something I'd never do. I tried recently, at an abandoned fence company, but couldn't get down far enough in the dumpster to get the wrought iron I wanted. On the property I did find these broken pieces and now I have to come up with a great use for them.

For the round piece I figured I'd put it over a hosta that has the vase shape - Regal Splendor maybe? Then the hosta could grow up through it.

If anyone has any idea for the post portion please post it. Obviously it rusted apart from the round base.

In the lower left hand corner there are babies of English Daisies emerging - not weeds.

Vossner: I can hardly explain how much I hated the granite. It pitted in places (upper right and left corners) where I never had anything acidic, it was impossible to keep sealed all the time, crumbs and food collected in the pits, etc. For some of my neighbors that don't cook it works just fine but for anyone who enjoys cooking it's a royal pain.
