Garden: Vine Support Structure using PVC pipes

Yesterday, I was thinking about ways to support the pumpkin vines.
I came up with a design today. I went to local Lowes store and bought

(1)3/4" X 5' PVC Pipe Plain X 6
(2)3/4" SCH40 Tee
(3)3/4" SCH40 Cross

I used my hacksaw and miter box to cut these pipes to 18" and 9" sections

I came across a good DIY on working with plastic piping

At the end of the evening, it was a satisfying experience.
This structure can be expanded in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Planting Potatoes

I got three regular potatoes from grocery store almost a month ago
just for growing purposes. I let them sit in kitchen for a month
for the buds to sprout. Two out of three looked ready for planting
and one looked rotten. I got rid of the rotten potato.

I bought:
(1)55 lbs of Moisture Control Potting Mix from Costco for $10.50
(2)Two green plastic pots for $15 each for gardening section of a store.
