Looks like I'm going to be the first plotholder with scaffolding on the plot. ;D ;D

No you won't, I've got scaffolding poles holding the stream bank up. I'm not the only one.

I've  got alloy scaffolding holding up bean netting....

Anyway, no-one will know about your plot, it's about to disappear from the ken of mortal man anyway.

MAny thanmks for the reposne to this thread BTW, to sum up I'm not fussed about how big the plant gets but I find it hard to find a use for a 4lbv squash/..... a pound or less is good why I grow the biggies is beyond me, maybe I need a trick cyclist...

Maybe we both need  trick cyclists Chris - they might provide a clue as to why I have two greenhouses full of chillies when I hate the taste of them...  :o
