We've been on the hunt for simple garden ideas and also for some modern garden blogs to really sink our teeth into. While on the search we came across 2 things we loved: this idea for an uber modern (and very simple to put together) trellis and a garden blog that really gets us going:
What we love about the trellis is that it would be an easy on to install on a balcony or in a small space to help provide privacy without some bulky wood latticework. You could probably even rig something like this canopy on a balcony. And we love that finding this post brought us to Nest in Style: A Practical Guide For the Modern Garden, a blog that highlights simple advice for growing flowers, vegetables, making compost, simple diy's etc. We're going to keep it bookmarked and dive in this weekend. Does anyone have a garden blog that they absolutely love and want to share?

I did this for both honeysuckle and grape vines. I didn't use cabled wire, I just used a heavy gauge wire and cut it myself. The eye screws were secured into wood, a wood fence for one, and a wooden arbor for the other. I ran the wire both vertically and horizontally. On one I twisted the wire where it crossed, the other one I didn't bother. They are both working out fine. One of them has been up for nearly 10 years.

I adore lounging in my garden and admire my plants. If you like gardening, you’ve probably spent long days searching for the right pot or garden planter or simply that planter that would make unique the look of your patio. You want to make sure your landscape is rich of life with beautiful flowers and plants. I wanted always add to my patio and my garden a touch of European class, so I started my search and came across this website http://www.alfresco-decor.com where I found one the most beautiful collections of outdoor garden decorations to fulfill all my desires. The right classical planter or the pottery that can enhance any type of outdoor living space.
Don't you agree that garden decorations add style and change also the architecture of outdoor areas? Backyard garden decorations make your outdoor spaces more pleasant and enjoyable. Of course you have to choose the right patio decorations according to the style of your house and the colors of the walls.

My suggestion of the above website is to help you find the right pottery for your project like I did, according with what you like or not like.
Alfresco Decor has a variety of pots and plants of different sizes and color or (call it stain if you want) to improve the look of my garden. Another reason why is because their pots are affordable and they can be purchased online and delivered to your step-door. Concrete planters are the best and they last forever. This kind of pottery has a strong resistance to weather conditions. What to say more? Invite your friends and enjoy your garden decor.
