My mom lives in San Antonio and we don’t get to visit very often so it’s been three years since my last visit. We got the “tour” of the backyard because she loves to work on her landscaping and gardening… I love crafting and upcycling, but my mom is more of the decorator. She’s done such a nice job with some of the fruits and veggies she grows, and I’m excited to see how much better some things do in Texas. Her cucumber trellis deserved a blog share. She repurposed an old wooden ladder to use for the cucumbers and it’s so beautiful. The blue paint is so pretty with the green vines and leaves!
