What I want to do is stick some canes in a row of pots, and put fleece or
bubble wrap over that, for frost protection of plants in pots outside. Was
wondering if there was such a thing as a plastic cap to join the sticks
together. Wish I could draw what I mean.


Get a coil of garden wire of suitable caliber and a pair of pliers.
Work of a moment (and adaptable)


Or a plant pot (canes through holes at bottom of inverted pot) or strong
rubber band. You *can* get those little green cappy things with three holes
in them for canes but probably not worth it if the above methods suit.
