This is where my grape arbor is going to go. I have planted two vines on this closest corner and want to train them up a trellis attached to a pair of planter boxes and then tie those all into another planter and two corner tables for food service. I love this corner and with Buddha and Jay's tree it will be in an even nicer spot since I am planting more tulips and spring flowers. I will add medicinal flowers, herbs and native edibles, as long as I keep it all very Zen looking I think it will the perfect spot to meditate.
The used 4x4's in the garage, some narrow trellis and scrap 2x4's and 2x6's is all I really need to put it together and long 2x6's to use as overhead cross pieces to form the arbor or pergola.
I have visions of Darrell sitting on the patio working on his laptop, with grape clusters hanging overhead. Probably a bit of optimism considering I live on the prairies but us gardeners are an optimistic bunch or at least an ingenious bunch when it comes to pushing the limits of climate and growing conditions.
In the planters it will probably be mainly tomatoes in five gallon buckets so that I can lift them in and out to protect from frost, the overhead supports could take some hanging planters of flowers and herbs. A perfect place for us to have a glass of lemonade, a barbeque, a morning coffee or whatever our little hearts desire.
After I figure out what I am going to keep and what I am going to get rid of in all that stuff from Mom I have fountains, and planters, and object d'art things and pots and tools and more stuff than you can shake a stick at. Things need to get moved, things need to get sorted, things need to get sold or given away and finished I think I will start with the basement.
