1. A scalable integral turntable and trellis comprised of a turntable having a rotational surface and a stationary base;
a planter base;
a first u-shaped trellis base fabricated from a single section of square metal rod with two filleted 90-degree bends, creating two equal vertical segments and a horizontal segment, wherein each vertical segment has a terminal end;
a second u-shaped trellis base fabricated from a single section of square metal rod with two filleted 90-degree bends, creating two equal vertical segments and a horizontal segment, wherein each vertical segment has a terminal end;
a first plurality of trellis connectors; and
a first plurality of trellis extensions;
wherein the first u-shaped trellis base and the second u-shaped trellis base are affixed to the rotational surface of the turntable so that the horizontal segment of the first u-shaped trellis base is at a right angle to the horizontal segment of the second u-shaped trellis base;
wherein a trellis connector and a trellis extension are affixed to the terminal end of each vertical segment of both the first and second u-shaped trellis bases; and
wherein the planter base is positioned on top of, and affixed to, the horizontal segments of the first and second u-shaped trellis bases so that the planter base, u-shaped trellis bases, trellis connectors, and trellis extensions all rotate in unison with the rotational surface of the turntable.
