Pictures of your large gardens and espec. TRELLIS
Comments (32)OK, here are some pics of my trellises. This is the main one, which is 3, 4-foot sections with 4 uprights. I drilled all the way through the end 2x4's on one side so the conduit could slip all the way through and the middle 2x4 could go on top. I did have to attach them to each other with a small piece of wood visible behind the conduit to prevent slippage. I conceived of them as something to match the wooden garden fence, and my future arbor and bench. Here is the top: The full length of one side showing where it inserts into the PVC in my raised bed. There are screw eyes in the 2x4s and top edge of the raised bed that the twine is attached to: And here is a 4' long trellis that has 2x2 for the top. It's a lighter weight trellis, which seems to be adequate for beans. If you need something heavy duty, you could go with a larger size of conduit, although that would of course increase the price. It would also be easy to use CRW or cattle panels on this frame for a heavier trellis for melons or squash. Hope that helps!...See MoreRose tunnel or multi-arbor combinations- Pictures wanted
Comments (3)In agreement with dollsandroses, by far, the most beautiful rose arches I've ever seen are in Elizabeth Park. Even if they are past bloom, you can see how they are trained and how the canes are handled. I've never seen a good, small arch of New Dawn. I've seen massive ones, like the one in the Missouri Botanical Garden, which is a major structure that's about six feet deep and high enough for easy walking beneath. I've seen a New Dawn on a smaller arch that could no longer be walked under. Again a massive rose that overgrew its support. Your growing conditions aren't the same as East Tennessee's, but I do know an arch locally that has a really healthy New Dawn, and the owner cuts it back to the roots every winter, and it sprouts fourteen foot canes the next spring with then cover the arch. And those are cut down the following winter. That's the only small and successful New Dawn arch that I know....See MoreDo you have pictures of your flowering arbors?
Comments (25)aroidgardener ~ What lovely arbors and I look forward to seeing what you grow over these. I love the courtyard area and know it will look great as you continually work on it. It's exciting and I can't wait to see the during and after pictures. Jenfm ~ That was a favorite picture of mine when you posted it before. Really Florida! Laura ~ Prosperity roses are one of my favorites. Those were great covering that arbor. Lellie ~ sorry a storm took your passion flower vine covered arbor down. Hope you get something you like to replace it soon. Felix ~ Love that wisteria. I can't grow it down here, but have a St. Lilac vine that I hope will be just as beautiful, and I also have a Queen's Wreath that I'm looking forward to blooming. Lisa ~ Oh my gosh! That is just beautiful!!!! I have a baby Queen's Wreath. Got it as a 6" rooted cutting from D'Ann a couple of years ago. This year it's about 2' high. I can hardly wait to get the first blooms and hope it's sometime soon. Please take a picture when it's covered like you said it gets at it's peak. Pretty please, with sugar on top. ;-) Does anyone know how long before I'll have blooms? Great thread, great pictures. FlowerLady...See MoreArbor/Trellis/GOG
Comments (34)Absolutely beautiful, and looks so professionally worked. The arbor/Trellis - wow - wish I had a handyman to help build stuff like that. I so want to build a Riana arbor, but guess I'll have to give up on that one - can't do the real big stuff anymore. Toying w/a bench idea - maybe, maybe not....See Morealiska12000
