Thank you GF, Barry and Rizio II.  It's always fun to find an Americana SAK that I can remember as far back as my childhood.

I get such a thrill looking at the knives you find like this one Lisa.  They're a journey back.  My favorite so far has been the Green Giant knife...ho ho ho!!!

      What I want to know, is how are the Jasmine plants in your little patio?  Did you ever find a hammock stand?  Enjoying the Americana again.  Best wishes. Gary

Thank you for asking.  It's been a hot summer and they are hanging in there.  Hoping for more growth in the coming years.
I am still seeking a hammock stand.

     Nice and healthy.  It looks like you have some zip tie action going on there to train the plants.  It would be easy to use twine and a stapler to give some support to the upper tendrils if they need it.  Staple the twine straight to the fence.  Just like staking a tomato.  I use this unwoven polypropylene garden twine for that sort of stuff.  Tying tomatoes, making pea trellis, that sort of thing.  Pull the staples once the vines take hold well.
     People walking down your street will be able to smell your little patio once those white blossoms begin to bloom.  Best wishes. Gary
