That must be so hard for you. I hope you have been able to plant some sweet peas in his memory. It will be a sweet reminder of him and being outside in the garden can be so therapeutic for you. Blessings to you as you go through this!
I'm still using a teepee trellis that I harvested from a old pear tree about three years ago. Best thing for my Peas and pole beans. Love your videos !❤😊
Love the quote " the magic is in the details". I very much agree and appreciate you showing us these beautiful little detailed magical builds so we can add them to our own gardens. I too perfer the natural look and to use what's on hand. It looks great and I can't wait to see it covered in blooming sweet peas! Thanks again for all you do, Brian!

I don't even have a cottage garden but I sure love that rustic trellis, it's wonderful. I may just have a try at making one. Please show us some updates as the sweet peas grow, it'll be beautiful even before the blooms are out.
I have watched you for a number of years. You have demonstrated some really cool things. This one in my opinion is the greatest. The trellis is so neat and beautifully crafted. Love it.
Love the trellis idea! I'd like to try that for peas and pole beans too! Lovely!!! Learned a lot and now I want sweet peas too! My Granny's bank behind her house used to be covered with thema nd I loved them. Good memories. This space is going to be beautiful! :)
Nice!!! Love that trellis! And is a wonderful way to use the tree. Brian, I enjoy your videos so much because of your creativity, and can't wait to see what else you come up with. Happy gardening❤
Already planted sweet peas, started inside, next to fence for them to climb. Don't have your resources + old. I think they'll be pretty good there. Grew sweet peas one other time, maybe 22 yrs ago. I was so delighted with them,
I love that you used natural tree branches from your yard. The tepee looks awesome. I was a little worried about the high grass. Growing up in California I know snakes will be out soon. I am so excited to see how everything is going to bloom out in the cottage garden. I really appreciate all the knowledge and joy you share. Blessings ❤️🌺
Brian, my boss uses root trainers for corn, and she does soak them in water - they are difficult to water from above! Ask me - I'm the one who got mad one day and dumped the whole shebang in a deep tray of water! (Yes, if we want harvest from heirloom seeds, we have to start the seeds indoors.)
That is genius. I planted my sweet pea seeds in Dec. Then transplanted in Feb. They are climbing my bamboo wigwam poles nicely. Hoping for flowers this month. But this So Cal rain has completely altered my gardening routine and schedule from years past.
I literally planted mine 30 minutes before you posted this video! With all the rain I didnt get them started til today. So happy to see you planted them today. I am planting by seed though so we shall how they do. I made a trellis with what I had...bamboo sticks
Love the trellis! I used runners from a Mexican Honeysuckle a few years back to make hoops for my row cover. After about a month half of my hoops started to bud with new leaves. I didn't think about the runners being the plant's way of reaching out for new places to take root. I still have a half dozen of the hoops I continue to use. I used the same to make a trellis at the top of an arrangement of t-posts, and they have held up extremely well.
Love it. I have lots of mulberry trees and I am always cutting those limbs. Now I will make that trellis. I use the branches for perches for the chickens.
This looks amazing! I believe I may try this, or some form of this in my garden. Hank you for the inspiration. This is my first year growing sweet peas ❤
I planted peas in February here in Florida. Growing great and had many flower's, then poof. It stated drying up. I got 15 pea pods. So I'm seed saving them.
I enjoyed your video so much, thank you. Im in Zone 7A and have over 30 sweet pea growing, i was wondering where to plant and you have given me the absolute best idea!! Thank you for all you do for us
That is by far the coolest thing you've done! I hope your sweep peas do well there. They were all over the town I lived in near Mt Shasta and I miss seeing them.
When you started twisting the branches I was 😍! Maybe I can do this with crepe myrtle? I will have to go exploring in my woods too. Thanks for sharing the idea!
I love that trellis and I love sweet peas ❤ i just can't germinate them anymore no idea why, I've built something new for them but it's not as pretty, brilliant vlog Brian 🥰
It will be really beautiful covered with sweet peas. You inspired me to go out and work on my bamboo tee pee for Easter family dinner. I need to soak my scented sweet peas as soon as I find them.
Your trellis turned out so great, perfect scale too for that space. I like to direct sow sweet peas but like you said the weather does not always allow us to do what we want or need.
Thanks for the insight on adding the small branch to help in the climbing. Do you have a video showing how to and where to clip the blooms to produce more peas?
The trellis turned out great! I have been eyeing my privet hedges that have self sown in different areas of the yard. I was going to snip off all the branches along the trunks, but I think I'll use your idea as much as is feasible. I love sweet peas. They're so fragrant and dainty.
Another great video Brian! That trellis looks so cool! Even the commercials were kinda entertaining. Lol- I usually skip but the LEGO one was pretty funny- somebody said if you like the channel, endure the ads.
This is so cool! Thank you! When I saw you not strip branches, I thought wait, what’s going on? The end result is sooo cottage, love it. I’m also intrigued by the root trainers, I’ve always heard sweet peas are not fond of being transplants. I want to try them, as sweet peas tend to be all or nothing for me. However, they are my favorite flower in the garden. The smell is heaven. I’ve always wanted to do a tepee, but don’t have the space. Will just have to live through yours!
Beautiful! I love how you used the copiced (spelling?) trees for this project. I have something like that but it is thorny huisache treelets or suckers that came up after I had to remove the big tree (fell over in an ice storm because it leaned too much). I let the suckers grow last summer because they provided needed shade to a couple pots of flowers that wilted every day in the hot Texas sun! I keep them trimmed down a bit but they could be used as trellis material when I trim them. Just have to cut off thorns! Or I could just buy some bamboo poles! 😊
Childhood in Phoenix: This time of year Baseline Rd had blooming citrus orchards, acres of stock,all colors, and Sweetpeas in rows under cover. I know what heaven smells like.
I LOVE this system. In my next life I will definitely try it. For now, I’ll enjoy your efforts. Can’t wait to see the blooms. Sweet peas are among my favorites. Thank you.
What a delightful idea!!! I can't grow sweetpeas anymore as I have a rescue Dachshund that thinks anything growing in the garden is for him to eat! Had to move 55 clivia plants to my front garden as he kept eating the seed pods and getting quite ill. Foxgloves, sweetpeas etc. are too toxic to even venture taking a chance in my front garden as they do accompany me there while I am gardening. Have to have eyes in the back of my head!!!😰🤪 Mad dog!!
Sarah Raven is fabulous. She has many videos on TH-cam. Her colleague Arthur Parkinson is terrific too.
The trellis is beautiful and your cottage garden is going to be so wonderful! Can't wait to see it in full bloom!
Thank you
You should be very proud of yourself! The trellis is beautiful and does, as you said, tell a story!
Thank you
So pretty. I love this. My husband passed in November and Sweet Peas were his favorite flower.
I'm so sorry 😞
That must be so hard for you. I hope you have been able to plant some sweet peas in his memory. It will be a sweet reminder of him and being outside in the garden can be so therapeutic for you. Blessings to you as you go through this!
I'm still using a teepee trellis that I harvested from a old pear tree about three years ago. Best thing for my Peas and pole beans. Love your videos !❤😊
Thank you
I absolutely love this trellis! It's decorative while be functional & the price was right😃

Thank you so much!
This is such a charming trellis. Love it. Please share the growth progress. I might try growing them as well! 🙂
I will
Love the choice of music as you weave.

Beautiful job on the trellis! I love the natural, rustic look of it and it ties in harmoniously with the cottage vibe.
I love the natural look to the trellis!!! ❤
Thank you
We sow in the eastern Mediterranean, sweet peas in September and they bloom now, filling the air with a sweet and wonderful fragrance.
I love how it all looks and what beautiful colors you picked .
God bless 🙏 ❤
I don't even have a cottage garden but I sure love that rustic trellis, it's wonderful. I may just have a try at making one. Please show us some updates as the sweet peas grow, it'll be beautiful even before the blooms are out.
The little incidents of "Oops" made me smile and realize I'm not alone in the Oops department. LOL Thank you.
Happy Easter.
👍🏼 You're not alone!
Very whimsical. It will be amazing when full of sweet peas.
What a great video! Thank you for sharing the whole process of making the TeePee! I thoroughly look forward to seeing what your next project is!
I have watched you for a number of years. You have demonstrated some really cool things. This one in my opinion is the greatest. The trellis is so neat and beautifully crafted. Love it.
Huh, I would have removed all the tepee's branches too just out of habit. That's very cool! Can't wait to see what that looks like in full bloom!
Me too!
I am absolutely in love with this trellis, and now I must go buy that book!
If you love the trellis you'll love the book!
Wow I’m totally impressed and jealous of your cottage garden Brian! Wishing a Easter to you and your family. I always enjoy your projects 🐣🌷🌼
Thank you! Happy Easter!
That trellis is beautiful and perfect for the cottage garden. Can't wait to see it covered in sweet pea blooms
Thanks Debbie
Really hope you provide update videos on how it looks when the flowers are in bloom. Looking forward to seeing that. And thank you for sharing
It's going to look great full of flowers ❤🤗
I absolutely LOVE this trellis! The branches at the base add a beautiful, natural aesthetic! Well done!
Love the trellis idea! I'd like to try that for peas and pole beans too! Lovely!!! Learned a lot and now I want sweet peas too! My Granny's bank behind her house used to be covered with thema nd I loved them. Good memories. This space is going to be beautiful! :)
Pretty darn good looking! And creatvie to boot...💕❤️🫛🫛

I love that teepee! It's gonna look so awesome once the flowers start growing!
Do you have an updated video of the sweet peas growing on the teepee?
Yes, update please
Love the trellis! Sweet peas are a favorite!
You are so creative! I really prefer the natural trellises in my garden. Thank you for the inspiration. Happy Easter!
I have neither of those bushes to use for my sweet peas BUT u gave me an idea what I can do for a trellis since I never grew sweet peas before.
Love the tepee and the music while you were planting.
HOW FREAKING COOL!!!! I cannot wait to see it this summer!
I use my neighbor's bamboo to make TP trellis. Works well. But that does look really cool!
Love the look of the trellis!!!!
Brian, my boss uses root trainers for corn, and she does soak them in water - they are difficult to water from above! Ask me - I'm the one who got mad one day and dumped the whole shebang in a deep tray of water! (Yes, if we want harvest from heirloom seeds, we have to start the seeds indoors.)
Hi there. As an Australian a most interesting use for the gum branches. Excellent!!!
That is genius. I planted my sweet pea seeds in Dec. Then transplanted in Feb. They are climbing my bamboo wigwam poles nicely. Hoping for flowers this month. But this So Cal rain has completely altered my gardening routine and schedule from years past.

The trellis is beautiful! Thank you for sharing the technique. Great videoa
I am going to try this project! Looks terrific!! Have a great weekend Sir...
This looks amazing! I believe I may try this, or some form of this in my garden. Hank you for the inspiration. This is my first year growing sweet peas ❤
Love the trellis, I will have to ask my neighbor if I can cut some of his willows. Would love to try making this!!
Can't wait for an update.
It turned out beautifully! Great job!
Loved your sweet pea tepee!!!
I love this so much! I can’t wait to see this covered with your sweet peas - Good job!
Thank you so much!!

Love it 😍, great job Brian xxx
That trellis is way cooler than I expected. TKS for sharing 😊
My pleasure 😊
Magical undeedy-roo!! 🤩 Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 🌻 💚 🌿
Thanks so much!
Cool teepee idea
What a great episode 👏👏👏
Thank you
Coool :O) Definite addition to this year's garden, As always well done video

Trellis is perfect.
Looks so pretty!! I wish I had enough space to do that!
I love that trellis and I love sweet peas ❤ i just can't germinate them anymore no idea why, I've built something new for them but it's not as pretty, brilliant vlog Brian 🥰
Gorgeous trellis!!!
So amazing you can just use what you have on hand. I can't wait to see them in bloom! Thanks for sharing!
It will be really beautiful covered with sweet peas. You inspired me to go out and work on my bamboo tee pee for Easter family dinner.
I need to soak my scented sweet peas as soon as I find them.

Can't wait to see those sweet peas blooming. Great job on the teepee (or tipi)!
Thanks for the insight on adding the small branch to help in the climbing. Do you have a video showing how to and where to clip the blooms to produce more peas?
Just clip where the stem meets the vine
I love the look of this.
Thanks!
The trellis turned out great! I have been eyeing my privet hedges that have self sown in different areas of the yard. I was going to snip off all the branches along the trunks, but I think I'll use your idea as much as is feasible. I love sweet peas. They're so fragrant and dainty.
That looks fantastic! Love it
Another great video Brian! That trellis looks so cool! Even the commercials were kinda entertaining. Lol- I usually skip but the LEGO one was pretty funny- somebody said if you like the channel, endure the ads.
Lovely! Wonderful idea!
I have a tee pee steel trellis around about 3.2 m tall it’s great last for years , l grow my tomatoes 🍅 on the trellis and my French beans.
This is so cool! Thank you! When I saw you not strip branches, I thought wait, what’s going on? The end result is sooo cottage, love it. I’m also intrigued by the root trainers, I’ve always heard sweet peas are not fond of being transplants. I want to try them, as sweet peas tend to be all or nothing for me.

Looks like a great project
This is a really cool trellis ♥ I am really excited to see the cottage and its garden finished. I wish you to have decent weathers so you can do it.
That looks great. Cool idea.
Love this! I subscribed so I can see the sweet peas in full bloom! Hint hint...
Also the root trainers are interesting!
Thank you!
Welcome!

Yes!
Looks beautiful ❤

Wow, nice! Love it😊
Love this!! Have to figure out where to get some little trees.😊
Working your magic again. Great idea for an organic trellis.
Thank you ❤️
This is a great project…and you inspire us to try new things! Thank you!
great video, art work for sure!
This was totally fab. Thank you!
That is AWESOME!!!
