Arlington Community Gardens - Arbor Construction

The Rotary Club came out to the gardens this last Saturday. It took several hours of measuring, cutting and a couple misplaced boards but the result was fantastic. I had to leave before the table was put back in place but even so it was a great project. You could feel the cool from the shade instantly.
Plenty of water was provided to keep the workers hydrated and working. Fortunately the heat stayed at bay making the work much more pleasant.
From the garden the view of the arbor was great. Hopefully this will attract more visitors to see the nice planter beds.

Construction

Today I put up some trellises for the hops to grow up. I started out wanting to put in an arbor but soon realized it would look too big for the space. Now I'm sore and tired and only have a little bit to finish tomorrow. It's growing by inches each day now andmore sprouts are popping up. If the summer sun doesn't kill it then we should have a good crop of hops flowers this summer.
