Topic: Beans and things

[Flunky]

I have broad beans and peas currently growing. I am right in thinking that both these plants require support from a frame ?

Thanks in advance Flunky ;D

when my broad beans are high enough I stake and rope them all together in one bed, i.e. the stales and rope are on the outside and on the inside they hold each other up - for peas it depends on the variety

A bit of string and a few sticks will do for BB's. What variety of pea is it?

Mine are growing in a wire frame cos we have playful  young foxes on our allotment. I still had to put some strings up today to stop them falling over for the slugs to eat
