shade wall update

Earlier in the summer we decided to try a shadewall to help with the heat that radiates from the west facing walls of the house. There are no trees to shade this area and so we put up a wire fence kind of a thing to grow plants on. These plants are passionfruit vines.

They have these large purple flowers that smell very sweet and attract hummingbirds. So far no fruit.



This is the skein from last night. It weighed in at 1.2 ounces.
