Sweet Pea Trellis

A few months ago on a walk I found a pile of rebar at a business. I asked if I could I have it and they said yes. I went back with my truck and brought that rebar home. We bent it and made 3 more garden arches. I decided to place the arches between the raised vegetable beds in the backyard. 




I usually plant my Sweet Peas in the other bed where I have a permanent fence for them to climb. But one can't have too many Sweet Peas so I planted more to climb up the new arches over the path between the beds. 



Today I used string just run across then diagonally looped around to give the Peas more support and a place to get them to go upwards. You can buy string trellises. But I'm cheap and like to use what I have. The plants are about 6-8" tall so far. I look forward to having them fill this new space that was just air before.

Do you grow Sweet Peas?
Happy Gardening!
