I really want an arbor but have not natural spot to put one. I guess I could just put one at the start of a path. The back yard is lawn in a wierd short of meandering shape, like a green river. Then the path starts and goes up a very slight 20' incline to the slope by my pond. Not sure what I could get to grow on it as it would die back each fall. I have absolutely no luck with Clematis but not for lack of trying. Kiwi grows okay but gets really tough and woody. I have a honeysuckle that the moose keep trimming out front, but again it would grow very woody. I guess I could run a line from the arbor to the fence over the garden. It is only about 6 feet. Maybe next spring.
From -60 Alaska to +100 Virginia. Wahoo
