Oh yes thats a go`er Ydd, I like it.

Its lovely isnt it, when ive thought about doing this area a Pergola was the first thought in my mind, but as theres concrete on 2 sides i thought it would be awkward, hub said nah, deed easy :)))
Ah the grapevine Stroller, Himrod Seedless, A sweet hardy seedless vine, sounds great for up here..

Wonderful, go for it!

Thanks Steragram...

Oh YES , I like the last one ,it's such a useful area ,, Drinks anyone :o))

It will be wonderful Ydd...Imagine sitting there on a lovely Summers afternoon surrounded by those beautiful plants, glass of wine in one hand...bunch of grapes in the other....heaven......LOL

Yes, definitely! My friend has pergola like this. She painted it dark Aubergine colour. It's stunning. She has an evergreen blackberry and honeysuckle growing up it, but a grapevine....brilliant...I just love grapevines. There are some lovely ones on here too, so you could see what does well in the North. I love it Daisy and you will love sitting there when it is done!

Just imagine when it's finished. A lovely secluded little spot where you can enjoy a long, cool drink of a summer's evening ... bliss!

Wine and grapes, sounds great Motinot, we will see :)
Oh Karen the aubergine colour sounds gorgeous, do you know what make of paint it is? Ive looked on google but can't find it in garden shades..
Lijemc, you have me dreaming now, i can see it in my mind.:)))

The last photo with the pergola is definately the way to go ydd. - How clever is that? - being able to mock it up on PS? It will give you more privacy too. Did you see the Love your Garden episode on small gardens and how to create privacy - well you dont need to really, you are bursting with ideas! - thanks for sharing. Im just going off to look at your wacky ideas blogs - really enjoying them.

I didnt see all of them poppylover, thing is with TV is, I forget the design ideas straight away lol..

Yeah me too. I keep them on the V+ box to watch during the winter when we have no garden programes at all to watch. Shame I cant copy it for you. I dont have a DVD recorder!

Oh that is the way to go, we do really well with or grapes on our pergola, love it with all your exotics.....what is the plant growing on the right, is it on a fence it looks like ivy?

Hi DD, i remember you and Dawnsaunt encouraging me last year to get a grapevine, you set the seed (get it lol ) in my mind, especially when you said there were cold hardy varieties, really looking forward to starting this project :)
Yeah the awfull Ivy, stuck with it as it was planted in the neighbours garden, no point in us digging it out our side, it would just grow through again, it looks good when i trim it 2 or 3 times a year..puh hehe..

It makes a good background though.

That looks like a brilliant idea. I love the pergola idea with a grapevine growing up it. Some very talented people on PS there. Roll on good weather so you can get stuck in eh :)

Hi Ydd ... just catching up on GoY ... we have a Grapevine 'Brandt' growing up and over the pergola ... wasn't too sure at first but really love it in the Summer and Autumn now ... when we ever have a hot and sunny day (remember those?) it's the perfect place to sit and cool down ... :o)))
