Grape Vines and Growing Wreaths

Grapevines are all over the yard and the garden here. The one trailing across the ground here will soon be wrapped around the arched bench I'm moving to my tea garden.

I'm not sure if you can tell in these photos but I'm weaving some of them around and around so that they will grow into a strong and well shaped wreath.I trim some of the leaves off as I go and let the tendrils bind one layer of vines on to the previous one.

Here's one that's found it's way to the arbor at the front of my garden. It's in the shade of large trees and didn't think any vines would grow here so it was a pleasant surprise.
