The Year of the Trellis

What does a gardener do in the middle of February when it's too cold to garden very much?  Well, she browses beautiful garden books and websites, and then she does some garden-planning, of course!  That's what led to this winter urge to build things for the upcoming months.  So...

Here's my newly-built trellis for the spring and summer gardens! Imagine snow peas climbing upward in the spring along with radishes and arugula planted underneath, and then cucumbers replacing peas in the summertime. Soon I will add some chicken wire along the fronts of the trellis so the pea tendrils & cucumber vines have a little more to grab onto. It was fairly simple to build using 1x2s, a few carriage bolts, and some finish nails. Oh, plus some power tools.  So far I've built two of this variety, and another larger-scale trellis for growing squash.  Come on, spring!
