Trellises Three

Sunlight on Chippy White Fence this Morning


Oh boy! Look what I found in the garage last night!

Gotta love a listening man that's all I have to say about this. I had to test them, though they are not finished as in painted.



I want to especially thank all those who mentioned trellises as an answer on my Mirror Mirror on the Garage Wall post so here's a big thank you to Packrat who was the first to suggest it, Lisa, Sharon, Terra, and Judy. With all your voices together, believe me, I heard "trellises" and started subtly mentioning them...of course ;> ...with the result I'm showing here.

I made the mistake of saying, "Wow! That was quick." I was assured that they were not done quickly at all. So let's see how long before they are painted and mounted and there is anything climbing on them, which is when I'll need to thank a lot more sweet gals!

Have a wonderful day!

  4. Just the ticket, I'm thinkin'.

    I went out this morning and hung the string for the pretty climbing vines Georgia brought me recently. They are on the side of the deck that she sees all of the time...I rarely see it...

  6. John's trellises are gorgeous! They will really dress up the garage wall. What will you plant to grow up them?

  10. oh dear. i just reread your comment at
    live oak and realize you thought i was
    trying to get you over.

    what i was trying to do is get someone
    to see the scripture in my silly poem on
    the 'blue skies' post.

  16. Vee, this is a great idea!!!! And I can already see them all filled with wonderful plants ~ they'll be gorgeous! I hope you all have a great weekend Vee, hugs and love, Dawn

  17. I agree - WOW!!!

    You're saying he made them? Omigosh. A handy guy is worth his weight in gold. Those trellises are going to look great. Have you decided what you'll plant to climb on them?

    I have two suggestions. Neither one creates beautiful flowers but they are both beautiful, thick and hearty vines. "Dutchman's Pipe" and "Porcelain Berry Vine". The Dutchman's Pipe produces pipe shaped blossoms. Porcelain Berry produces berrie that turn from pale, pale blue to turquoise to purple. I love to watch them change color in the fall.

    Congratulations on a problem solved.
