You probably saw our PLANS after we set up our Pergola. And we really want to have something like this... Our inspiration photos are pergola filled with Wisteria Vine. So, naturally, we had to get our Wisteria Vines. We got ours at a local garden Center -$48 per vine plant And since the pergola was made of metal, we were afraid with the extreme heat in our area, the metal might end up being too hot for the vine to grow onto. Plus the posts seems too narrow for the vines for the vines as well. So my brilliant husband devised an ingenious plan to build a trellis on the pergola posts! Not looking so ingenious yet... ;-) I have to thank my hubs for this idea immensely since I initially tried to convince him to buy something like this because I was doubtful of that plan... Romantic Curved trellis from Menards I just thought something ready-made would be easier and quicker, but then it's made of metal again, and I'm not sure our wisteria will survive climbing up these. So he built this instead.... Looks way better than my store-bought trellis Up close He built this using 2" x 1" pieces of wood and painted it with black outdoor paint. We used the original trellis first to let the vines get acclimated to it's new pot and location. We also added some mushroom compost around the vine plant as recommended by the gardener at the garden center we bought it from (apparently fungus is the wisteria's main enemy- anyhow, we both don't know much about it so we just followed what the gardener said, if you know something about vines, please let me know on how we can take care of it better!). Our Wisteria without her 'crutches' After a few days we removed the trellis our wisteria came with and tied her up to our own trellis. We're keeping a close eye on it and hopefully we'll be able to share our progress on this. On a not-so-good-note, they say it may take up to 3 years before a wisteria would start blossoming. But I'm in no rush, we just want the greenery to start creeping up before the winter starts again and also just trying to keep our wisteria alive! Cross your fingers with me would you? Have a Great Week! VEL Would love to hear your thoughts! Please share away... Linking back to...

While we’ve paid plenty of attention to in our backyard’s design, with new plantings and furnishings, we’ve done very little with our front yard. It’s in need of a makeover, and we’ve decided that this is the year we will tackle it. Our home is a 1964-Streng, a mid-century modern home that resembles the Eichlers […]
