Today was so beautiful in NC I decided to make a trellis for my climbing hydrangea. I gathered dead limbs and built this. It was finished in 2 hours. If you can ignore the empty pots, ladder and the black garden trailer behind the trellis, please? (sheepish grin) I chose a climbing hydrangea because it's a flowering vine that can take some shade. It will have lace cap flowers eventually. I used 12' steel rebar for the bones of the trellis and then attached dead limbs.
What are you adding to your landscape this Spring? I tend to add or change something around every year. I had a rose garden in the back for 5 years, but this year I moved all the roses to the front yard, and placed a crepe myrtle in their place.
This is what it will look like in about 10 years. Climbing hydrangea is a slow growing vine. (click the photo to see a larger view) By the time it gets this big, I'll have built a larger, stronger trellis.

What a great idea! I think I could do this.
I loved this idea! I built something like this at my elderly parents house, thanks for the idea! I put clematis on their trellis.
