Arbors and Seedlings


When Patrick was here recently we started to build an arbor to hold up climbing things like peas, pole beans and maybe cucumbers. We did not get as far along on the project so Marci and I finished off the construction this weekend. There were a number of changes in the plan that we had to make to get the arbor together. If you look closely there are some places that are not square but overall it looks good and will hold up the climbers that we have this year.

I also am planning to visit Florida next month and I will will try to get a cutting from a muscadine vine that had it origin at least a 100 years ago on the Bailey's homestead.


Spring is coming and in the next 2 weeks the risk of a frost is likely to pass. The seedlings seem to be growing well and the tomatoes have a second set of true leaves and it looks like I will need to put the grow lights up higher to accommodate the growth of plants. In the next few weeks the ground will be warm enough for all of these plants to go outside.

  1. I like the arbor, what is growing all ready. Everything is starting to look good and ready for plants. I am looking forward to helping this summer. Granny
