tempting trellises... each summer I test out a different type of trellis designs in my garden. I've used branches and twigs, rope, bamboo, you name it. In the latest issue of This Old House, they featured several different do-it-yourself trellis designs. The above shot of a branch trellis in the pot immediately caught my eye. It would look perfect in my whiskey barrels where I grow my sugar snap peas. What I really liked about the concept is that you use the branch as the entire trellis, rather than using long branches with the side stems removed. This totally cuts out the need to then add twine to create "catch ons" for the plants to grow up. This trellis looks equally beautiful whether clad in the full bloom of a plant or simply by itself.
