After a fair number of weeks of rain we finally had a nice sunny weekend. Which of course meant a bit o’ gardening time.
And what better way to celebrate spring than to take a 16 year old futon frame and make it into an arbor for one of our vegetable gardens. Of course I totally forgot to take a before shot. Typical.
During:
A little more work and boom, it looked like this:
In total, we spent about $40. Only because we had to buy hinges & a latch for the gate.
Now, the beans are all planted, the garden is gated off from the wee heathen dogs, and we’re due to have a week of sunshine and warmth. Can’t.wait!
Gonna go put some aloe vera on my sun burn now. 
What a great-looking garden! Good use for the futon.
Lovely re-purposing job there! I would have commented sooner but I was…wait for it…in my garden. Of course I still haven’t planted the beans yet. But soon!
I love seeing projects like this! What a great idea.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been to your blog for a visit. I have to say that I absolutely love your tattoo! You are one devoted knitter! I’ve been telling all sorts of people about it. Of course, for the non knitters, I’ve had to explain what the Kitchener stitch is!
You have such a nice looking garden. That’s good work on the futon.
Great looking garden u have there. And great job on the futon.
