What to do with an old section of wrought-iron fence? Take a cue from this clever gardener (shout out to my mom again) and use it to prop up your fall tomato plants. The six-foot section was picked up at a junk shop and found a good home here in a raised bed.

The garden is a great place to put otherwise defunct things to work. Sections of fence can also be turned into a gate, or leaned against a wall as a unique trellis. What types of things have you cleverly repurposed in the garden?
