before and after

last year hubby made this arbor for me.

 you can read about it here

we planted eden climbing roses in hopes of adding some beauty to this otherwise ugly space.

 this is how the arbor looks today, exactly one year later.

the roses are growing beautifully.

they did not have many rose buds i think because it has been busy growing.

i did manage to find a few blooms, just beautiful.

i can't wait for it to completely fill the arbor.

green just adds life to a space.

 speaking of green, this was my back patio last year.

and now these climbers are just filling up the space, 

hiding away my prison block wall.

have you been experimenting with green?

thanks for visiting.
