Absolutely no room whatsoever. Garage is full of crap that I need to
get cleared out. And we're talking about moving several hundred pound
sized containers. Don't have anyone around her to help. The things
weigh so much, it's hard to believe they can get blown over. I never
would have imagined anything like this. But I guess it's all about
leverage, sunflower leaves act like sails, throw enough of them up on
strong staked stems high enough, and it takes less power to tip the
container. The foundation blocks coupled to the base of the pot will
widen the base and will hopefully triple to quadruple the weight of
the container.

Downtown they have trees planted in containers. I wonder how those
stay up... probably bolted down.

Hey Pelvis, Jeeze I'm sorry all your hard work was ruined. Don't give up
though. I agee that the conatiners should have been taken inside. Is there
anywhere else to put your plants? Maybe next year plant lower growing things
and definitely secure the planters.
