finally did something aside from

weeding and pulling out plants. It felt really good, too!

I had made this ladder arbor when I lived at my other place and had it stufffed under some bushes since I move here. I've been digging out all the plants in one area (still got lots to dig out) and had already planted up one side, started to set out a path, and by doing that found the perfect spot for the ladder arbor. I will eventually put a door there, too. I have a door frame and my neighbor will be having a bunch of her large shrubs and some trees cut down so I'll get some branches from her and cover the door frame with those branches.

What I'll do next is plant the area with buddlejas and have a buddleja forest. This is where I'll be setting up my gnome village. I can't wait! We're having our 'Indian Summer' week, and pretty much after that we'll be back to cold temps again. Our summer was so pathetic that I sure could use another one! HA!

Enjoy!

I love that ladder arbor. But I am also interested in the door, I'm anxious to see it as I am having trouble picturing it in my mind.

The branches on the top are a new addition - didn't have that when I had the ladders set up at my other house. Was kinda wavering on doing that because of the fires we had over summer, but I refuse to allow negative thoughts enter my garden. I'm hoping that I can strike a cutting from the clematis that's on the other arbor to put on this one.
