House Painting

John painted what we call the bump out.  He also painted the trellis.  We took it down for the painting which was a bit hard on the roses.  After we put the trellis back we replanted the small area in front of the bump out, including moving a couple of roses.... hence the parasols protecting the roses from the hot sun.   The parasols are tied to rebar with garden twine.

Parasols and rebar have become staples in our gardening, especially rebar.  It makes great stakes.  Easy to put in.  Sturdy.  The ridges keep ties from slipping.
