Building an Arch Trellis for Our Totally Out-of-Control Vegetable Garden | Family Vlog

In today's family blog, Ben builds two arch trellises for our totally out-of-control vegetable garden. If you watched our previous vegetable garden video, you know that we made many mistakes this year, including not properly propping up our tomatoes and climbing vegetables.



Ben has a solution and builds his own DIY trellis. He and I truly are clueless gardeners, but we sure do have fun with our hobby.



The following are the supplies we used for anyone who is interested in building their own arch trellis.

First of all, let's start off with the most important supplies:



His Lordship mug



to go with my Her Ladyship mug

And now that we've gotten the coffee out of the way... Here are the other supplies we used to build the trellis:

18 inch stakes These are the stakes Ben used to secure the fencing into the ground.

Wire cutters

Sledge hammer


We plan to document our garden the whole year, so we will definitely update you on the success of the arch trellis. We get heavy winds in the area we live, so I'm curious to see how the trellises hold up. I hope you enjoy the shenanigans in today's video.

Please note: the music used in the video is Dvorak no 12 in F Major Op 96 and Kingdom of Baghk.

I posted Natural Home with Jennifer yesterday (instead of Friday) so anyone who is interested can take advantage of Grove Collaborative's fall scented cleaning products. Some people have told me that the mum scent has already sold out, but my favorite, apple cider, is still available. To see my honest review from yesterday (and yes, my daughter had some funny describing words for the pumpkin scent) click here.

Thank you to everyone who continues to take and comment on my eCourses, Create Your Own Ten-Item Wardrobe, and Chic Financial Principles for Debt-Free Living. I really enjoy connecting with you over these courses.

On last week's parenting chat, Hana G writes,
"You know it's funny, I still remember my mum saying to me once when I finished making my bed, that out of all of our family, I was the one who made it look the most neat and stylish. To this day, I still remember this comment and really enjoy making my bed every morning :-D (I am 30 now) Affirmations are really powerful!"

Hi Hana, I agree! We really do remember the things we were encouraged in as children. Affirmations for our children are very powerful, indeed.

I hope you enjoyed today's video. Please let me know if you'd like to see more family vlogs from the Connoisseur family.

I would love to know... do you have a kitchen garden? What tips do you have for us clueless gardeners? Thanks for joining us.
