Pergola

Cottage Living ran this photo with an article in April 2007. I love this pergola, it is very charming and I think it would be very cozy on the side of the garden shed. I am picturing it also covered in grape vines, my mom has some very nice grapes vines growing at her place, I think I will see about getting a start or seeds from that vine. At the front corner I would like to either put a Rose of Sharon that is in a pot in the shed right now, or maybe this would be a good spot for the pineapple sage I am planning on. I have been to Lowe's (sigh...love Lowe's!) and priced out what it would cost to build. I will need to check with the city and see what kind of permit I will need, if any?

There is a large cedar tree on the back corner of my lot so the side of the garden shed is the only area in the back yard that gets any shade in the summertime. So for entertaining and relaxing purposes this is the ideal spot for my pergola. The white shed in the picture belongs to a friend and I have been promised that it will be moved in a few weeks. To the front of where the white shed is sitting I would like to plant a small veggie garden in the spring time. Nothing to complicated, pole beans, tomatos, salad fixings would be nice.
