On a whim
On a whim, Jeff built me a pergola.

Since we lost the branch from the big maple tree in the ice storm, we've lost a lot of shade in the backyard. We noticed it yesterday and decided to build a pergola. We concreted the posts in last night and Jeff had the whole thing up by noon today.
We'll plant my chayotes on each side so the vines will cover the sides and top, and we're thinking of putting up a bamboo shade on the west side (toward the fence).
Jeff's pretty cool sometimes.

2 And you thought...
We recommend Catnip and Snap Peas :0)

Snap peas are going elsewhere in the garden, and I'm afraid catnip would only lead to an unwanted infestation of CATS! :)
Plus, the chayote need somewhere to go. They grow up to 30 feet in a season, so they should be perfect. And it's not like I've got 30 feet of space somewhere else for them!
