Plant Stand

Spring has started, and this year I wanted a tomato plant for our back yard. I bought two: a cheaper, smaller one (that will need some patience) and a bigger one that already carries a few (currently still green) cherry tomatoes.

But it should not sit on the ground, so I use some scrap wood to build a little stand.

I am using treated lumber, 2"x2" for the legs and the frame, and 3/4"x4" boards for the stand and the sides.

Make sure to leave some space between the bottom boards, so excess water can drain.

It is, actually, heavier than I expected - but that's a good thing.

And now I'm waiting for the tomatoes to ripen! (The little tomato plant one on the right will need a little more time)
