This weekend my husband, Mike, with me as his weakling assistant, constructed and finished the trellis for our backdrop and climbing roses. I will still have to paint it in about a week. The top and lattice will be stained an unobtrusive army like green - to match the arbor over our patio. The posts will be painted white - as well as the short extension picketed fence (not constructed totally yet) beside the driveway.
Here are a few pics of the construction and even the new dirt - first layer - showing the size of the new garden.
