How long does it take to put up canes for runner beans ?
I went down the lottie yesterday for (what I thought was to be ) a quickie.
All I wanted to do was put up a few canes for me runners.
3 hours !
Just for 60 canes (30 pairs). The ground was already dug and raked.
3 whole hours !
Am I really pathetic, or does it really take that long ?
Im baffled as to how you can occupy 3 hours doing that. takes me about 15 mins tops to build three 12 cane wigwams in predug ground.
What have you been up to Slug_killer???
It does not take that long to put up 60 canes.
I have two rows of 24 and a frame around the top. Only took around 35minutes.
Is there something you are not telling us???
Any chatting with neighbours along the way?
I found it took me a long time for a lot less canes (finding the right size in the jumble Ihad left last year, reaching up to try to tie the canes that are really too high for me, etc ) I think things always take longer than you expect!
I just put up 50 canes this afternoon and it took about 20 minutes
I grow my runner beans in the same place each year (so what) and got OH to put up the bean frame and no way am I going to move it whilst I still get beans (apart from the frost this year). Did put up some canes and string for my sweet peas in the garden but after the cat/kitten tried to strangle himself on the string, took it all down so that took a long time, but who cares.
slugkiller who cares how long it took as long as you had fun doing it! ;D
