It's actually handling the weather as well. We were a bit concerned about the top boards sagging from the weight of snow and ice, but it's been up for a couple of years now, and so far, so good.
The climbing roses and clematis should, if all goes well, make a nice showing on it this year, for the first time. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it does, and what the planted combos look like together.
We've had hard frosts the past couple of nights so I've covered some plants with saved leaves, but you can perhaps see a couple of the climbing roses in this picture.
Opinions(?) I need to repaint that red fence this year, and I need to do it really soon. Should I keep it burgundy (but darker than it is now) for contrast, or paint it the blue-green of the arbor and fence behind it?
I'm so glad that Y'all have joined us for the tour!
Thank you!
