Latest Project . . .

I was wanting something for the sweet peas to climb up.  I had in mind a wigwam of bamboo canes or something similar.  Mike had other ideas, involving steel rod, welding gear, grinding discs and cutting leaf shapes out of steel plate!  

Now It is finished and in place, about six foot high and topped with fig, ginkgo, willow and dog wood leaves.  The idea is that it will rust and age gracefully and attractively, which it seems to be doing already!  It is wonderful - I love it!  

Now I've got to get those poor little sweet peas out of the greenhouse and hardened off so they can start climbing up it!
