Campsis (Trumpet Vine)

I finally added this trellis netting to my fence so it can have something to hold onto. It's a 40' vine, and I'm got 2 of them sitting close to each other. I'm hoping to get it up the fence with this netting and then I'll just let it grow into the open space behind our fence. Hopefully it will smother out some of the weeds.
