Archive: Trellis

I want to build a little trellis.

In one light, that sounds horribly pedestrian to me. But I think the effect I intend will be really cool. I have some passion vines that are going wild but in the wrong spot. They’re climbing all over several other plants.

I want a little trellis that looks a little like a small house. Plenty of wire for vines to climb, and perhaps some copper pipe plumbing to make it drip water… connected to the sprinkler. Given the insane growth of the passion vine it would probably cover a trellis completely by this time next summer. And the blooms ought to make it smell pretty nice.
