Rikki is a 6 mo yr old sheperd–had no problem housebreakin her–but recently she goes on my pool patio rather than 10 more feet to a grassy area–i am at my wits end and am close to getting rid of the dog—plz help!

I really need some help on ideas for a DIY project. My husband and I are usually pretty good at figuring out a way to do anything! Somehow this has us stumped.

We want to grow a small garden this year, but we have no land. We live in an RV park so our options for set up are limited. We have a patio that is 14’x8’ and a small grassy area for a yard. We can’t put any steaks in the ground and the buckets for veggies can only be on the patio area. The RV park mows so anything on the grass is a no-no. We do have a wood picnic table that is on the patio which can be used, but no permanent alterations.

So, with nothing to hang anything from I figure our best option is to rig up something with the picnic table. Something maybe in the way of clamping something onto the tables sides to provide support for a hanging plant basket. But how would be make something like that? We are pretty self-sufficient in the means of making anything, but neither of us can weld so that is about the only thing we cant do.

The tables looks pretty much like the one that is attached to the link below.

I plan to do the following plants: 1 tomato, 1 cherry tomato, 2 or 3 bell peppers, bulb onions (those will have to be non-hanging tho obviously), and maybe an okra and green beans but I have no idea on how I would grow those two in the situation I have.

I already tried looking online after my husband and I couldn’t think of anything, but to no avail. So I am hoping someone on yahoo answers will be able to use creativity and help. If you have a better idea of something I can build to put on the patio area instead, then feel free to give those ideas as well, but all I have been able to come up with is affixing something to the picnic table. Thanks for any ideas or tips you may have.

My wedding colors are fuchsia, champagne and white. I am on a budget and need some inexpensive beautiful flowers and decor ideas. I am having a outdoor wedding and would like a garden theme and also bring it into the decor at my reception (indoors) any ideas? My wedding will be in June 2010 in a shady grassy area with white folding chairs and a wicker basket type off white arch with white calla lilies and greenery intertwined in it (already on the arch when rented) but calla lilies are to expensive from what I’ve seen. need some help please!
