my woven trellis for the tomatoes, which will be added to in due time. also of note are the beans, eggplants, peppers and also the irises given to me by a friend this spring.

  5. Buddha in the roses is awesome... but I really love that trellising you made for the tomatoes! It looks like a giant (human) spider spun it oh so carefully. (Or maybe I like it because it reminds me of the leading between your mosaic glass?) Either way, very cool.

    What's the thought behind that kind of trellising, by the way? Are you doing a kind of French weave for them?
