    Beautiful, you have inspired me. We have an antique dealer in town who sells a lot of the cast iron decor. I think I may pay him a visit and make me a tea garden this spring. :thumbsup

    First sugar snap peas of the season

    Love your trellis, I think I am going to steal the idea. My 11 yr old LOVES sugar peas, I usually end up with vines and no peas. I am going to put my boys to work constructing one for me. :thumbsup
