| Weeds! |
Part of Brigitte's ambitious gardening project involved tearing out this den of iniquity bed of noxious weeds. The last owners had tried growing veggies here--there were still tomato and pepper tags on the ground--and before that, there were evergreen shrubs, according to Google street view (and the massive roots I dug up!).

We eventually want to re-plant some evergreen shrubs here, but for now, it will do nicely as an early-season veggie bed. We want to plant peas here, which need something to climb, so we built an awesome trellis from scratch.

We built the trellis out of cedar 2x2s and 2x4s, with eyehooks strung with twine for the peas to climb. The twine can be replaced every season or as needed.

| Ta da! Finished pea trellis! Now to install it... |

| Isn't it lovely? It will be even lovelier once peas are growing on it. |
