Allotment Triumphal Arch
Isn’t it lovely?As to why it’s triumphal – the two bits of arch that aren’t arching (if you see what I mean) were just about the first things we took to 201 seventeen months ago! And today, while I was minuting an allotment committee meeting, Himself installed the arch and made the archy bits that go over the top. So possibly it should be a triumphant arch rather than a triumphal one ...
On one side I’m going to plant purple/black Ipomeas and on the other, Achocha: a sort of climbing vine from South America that produces small, spiky cucumber-like fruits!

This is great and is going to look lovely once the plants grow round it....can't wait to see it in full bloom!
It will look lovely with the plants growing up it.
Tanya - nor can I! I'm very excited about finally having some pretty things on the allotment as well as productive ones.
Jo - I really hope you're right - and that I do get something to germinate that will grow up it.
