Recycled Teepee Trellis

Well all fun a side
I hope to add a few poles this week end.
The more poles covered by vine by frost time the better.
I hope to create a micro climate within the tee-pee.
My tropical plants need heat. They will still be tender by winter even though I am semitropical we get a frost and they would be done for.

I hope to have a winter cover made to fit over this just as a nomadic native would for his Tee-pee. I have a pattern to allow a fire inside.
I think a small fire would hold off any frost within!

Plus the cover would be great for camping, A real tee-pee !
Poles would fit on a boat just nice like. Well that is another thing, back to gardening!

I was just looking at this thread and thought it needed a newer picture to compare.

The Morning Glories were thick for a while but are now just about finished up for the season. They are still blooming but more at the top.

The Jasmine is coming along nice, I have it planted at some of the poles. By this time next year it should be very full looking. It should smell like heaven with all the jasmine, not to mention the millions of bees and butterflies.

But this is a picture I took a few days ago.
Things grow pretty fast here!
