Arbors?
This question is not exactly off topic, since it stems from my
frustration at not having more sun! At a discount store this year I
found some metal trellises, big genough to go over a walkway - so I
bought seven of them! They are not terribly sturdy, but I thought I
would try them, and roses, clematis, etc. seem to love it. I put one by
a grape I planted 2 years ago, and it is going wild. It is a Suffolk
Red variety and it must have 100 clusters of little grapes now. Too
many, I suppose but it is petty exciting seeing a plant go so
vigorously; looks like it will take over the whole back yard.
Now I would dearly love to plant several grapes, and let them go to
riot. The only sun I have left is on the driveway. Does anyone know of
an easy way to put a support across a span 12 or more feet wide? A
wooden support that wide would be quite a project. Surely other shade
gardeners have tried going upwards, so I would appreciate any
suggestions.
