The Vine House


This is my lastest project. We got a sandbox and swing off of craiglist. And being in southern Calif it is so hot in the summer that I didn't want my grandchildren getting sunburned while playing. So I moved an old homemade clothesline into the garden area and covered it with wire mesh. I have a passion vine plant that just wants to cover the wire mesh. So hopefully next summer we will be able to play under the passion vine. The mini pumpkins were planted here last year and I just threw them in one place so I could put them in my compost pile. The front of the vine house has old window frames that I wired to the clothesline.

The Sunflower House

Last week I cleaned up my sunflower house and here is what it looks like in the month on January. I should of taken a "before" picture. The recent storms tore my cover off the swing and there were lots of weeds and dead sunflowers lying around!
