Why do climbing beans ALWAYS go up their neighbour's pole?
Why do tomatoes ALWAYS grow out at 30 degrees to the stake?
(No, not towards the light - often directly away from it)
And 'lay out your onions in the sun to dry off the roots?' Have you noticed how that so often brings on a prolonged wet spell?

Tim, when you talk to your plants -what are you saying :o

Get the *+&*^** up the right pole? And do they listen...? = Tim
Sorry but I a comment my sister said on the laying out of onions and the wet spell. I would first like to point out she was 8 and this was when my dad had an allotment. I would say her age now but thats impolite, lets just say she's in college and I'm 22. I was her big brother.
Anyway enough waffle.
"the onions must make the clouds cry too"

Congatulate her on a brilliant observation! = Tim
I couldn't do that. She'd be flabbagasted :o I told anyone.
You're right about the runners too Tim.I've tried talking to them but to no avail they still do it.
The answer to the bean question is to apply `reverse` Psychology. Start the darlings off on the wrong pole and they will soon move over ;D

TrailRat - that's so beautiful - really poetic! I love it!
Tis mother nature pulling a fast one on us for trying to mess with nature! My onions have started to flop over, right ontop of my spring onions! I try to carefully bend them away, and they spring back on my spring onions! And my peas, will they scramble up the twigs, no, they languish along the ground! :-\ Great comment from your skin and blister TraiRat, liked that a lot! ;D
