New spiral garden

Just completed this tiered/spiral garden which has been in the planning stages for years!
The 'big snake' is an Alvin lift line which was used to haul the submarine out of the water by a huge A-frame winch on the R/V Atlantis .
My husband used to be an Alvin Pilot and he got these used and defective lift lines when the group no longer wanted them.
They are REALLY heavy and take a lot of muscle to move around.
 We have about 5 of them lining the driveway... you can see two of them in this picture.
The blue thing at the top of the spiral is a ceramic bird which is turned the wrong way in this picture. See below of a slightly better view.

We planted zucchini, cucumber, peas, and cantalope... all climbers.
The teepee arbor was made from a 4 stalked sasafrass we took down just for the purpose. It was getting big and would soon be shading the garden so we harvested it. I'll be adding more cross-pieces and twine to encourage the climbing.

Here's another shot of the entire 'farm' area:

 The garlic is coming up nicely and we've got 2 kinds of lettuce, 3 kinds of tomatoes, 2 kinds of peppers, broccoli, cilantro and parsley.
All is watered with a soaker system and surrounded by a simple wire fence. We're planning a nicer fence in the future.
