My Runner bean frame!! (proud new gardener moment!!)

CazW_2

Look what I just made! :j



If you have read the 'my garden in april' thread you'll know I planted my Rbeans the wrong way.... well i dug the seeds up and re planted today and made their frame... which I'm quite proud of..lol

One question tho... would it be a good idea to run some wire or twine between the canes for extra support or will they be ok without?

the beans will do just fine growing up the canes.

just be carefull as the beans go up the canes that they dont become `top heavy` and fall ><

I just bought my canes and some netting. I'm getting all excited now but I can't get outside and build it as I'm expecting a delivery in the morning and I might not hear the postie if I'm out on the garden >.<

I might have to do a bit of indoor construction

my beans are about 5 inches high and I am not sure when I should be planting them out. Thought I should wait for the weather to get less unpredictable - any advice?
