This is a really great tip ... saves time from having to run inside and look for something to tie up those scraggly or trailing plants!

Becky: Great photo too!!

So easy! Great solution. I must say my "stuff" is all over the place but my little brain seems to be able to keep track of it. Weird.

I have one of those soft plastic totes from Walmart that I use. It really saves a lot of time running back and forth.

I have an old wicker basket with useful garden "stuff" that sits in a convenient spot on the deck!

I had to do this several years ago because I was sick and tired (SICK AND TIRED!!!!) orf running into the house all the time. Even now, life on my balcony dictates using this little container quite often.

in my case.. I would need to add drain holes.. yes I would forget it outside in the rain

GREAT idea!!!

I am one of those who has to keep running inside to get something I need. Now, I'll get one of my many baskets and put all my garening things in it. I lose my gloves all the time, forget where I take them off.

I am with you Onewish! It would need to be one with holes or a lid, because I would leave it out in the "rain"...if we ever get it again in N Central Texas!
Great tip Becky!

Another thing I do is keep a baggie in the kitchen to save the zip ties from various products. When it gets full, I add those to my red basket.
