Well…I was feeling full of beans this morning when the showers stopped and the sun came out to play, so I built another arch for my Yates Climbing Beans – Scarlet Runner.
I outlined how to make these on Day 29, and the first arch did not cost me a cent, but this one has…I ran out of 20mm irrigation tubing, so had to take a trip down to the hardware store and purchase some more. The whole idea of these arches is to go vertical and give myself more room in the garden.
I thought I’d give this variety of climbing beans a try as a client of mine kept giving them to me last summer in return for tomatoes, and I thoroughly enjoyed them. Plus I think the red flowers will look really pretty growing over the arch. When I was reading the packet, it said that they were perennial which I hadn’t realised. Oh well – I guess I’ll just keep the arch there for them next year.
I’m going to have a wee hunt for some more climbing beans tomorrow I think as it would be nice to have a couple of varieties. My other beans are just dwarf beans….
Right time to have a well earned vino me thinks!
