This is the first year that I have actually tried planting my own containers for the deck. Usually I will purchase one or two to add some color to the deck. This year, though, I had a new idea. Our deck has a constant breeze and last summer was just a little cool to enjoy the deck with the breeze most of the time. So this year, I decided to try to put up trellis to help block the wind so that we could enjoy the deck a little more. Of course, Murphy's law, it has been pretty hot and humid this summer already. On a related note, my husband finally put a water spigot off the back of the house (Prior to this year, we had to bring a hose through the garage.) and it has since rained pretty much every day or every other day. Anyway, back to the container gardening. Here is picture of my trellis pots soon after I planted them. I will have to show some before and after pics eventually because, thanks to the rain, they have grown a lot.
I know it is not the greatest picture, but you get the idea of what I am trying to do. Here are pictures of each individual trellis pot. This is of course before the vines have begun to grow because I planted those from seed.
Here are the rest of my container plantings.
That's all for now.
