Hop trellis and yard art

[Minnesota]

yes, I made it to look like a giant fishing pole, bent like there is a fish on the hook.
Since the trellis will only have vegetation on it for 3 or 4 months of the year, I thought I'd like it to be an art sculpture too.

this is how it looked with Hops growing on it at the peaking of the growing season

Ha, that's brilliant. What do the neighbours think?

Could you find a fish-shaped hanging basket to put on the end of the line? Fill it with orange coloured flowers and you've caught a goldfish

My neighbors like it.

I must admit, the photos make it look larger than it really is.
to get a photo to really show it, I had to aim the camera upward
so the sky was the background. it is 21 feet tall and the
apple trees that are between the sculpture and the street
are 16 feet tall, so the trees kind of hide most of it from the street.
in fact you really have to look for it from the street to see it.

my closet neighbor, who would be my "Leadbetters" get plenty
of benefit from all strange gardening techniques to care what it looks like.

I don't have any livestock...that'd cross the line in that neighborhood.

That's really cool!
