The school garden had a couple of grow bags over and we also had 6 spare runner bean plants, after planting out the wigwam in the garden. Put the two together in a public space available right outside the front entrance and what have you got?
A success!
There has been a lot of excitement as the plants grew up the strings. The strings were cut once but that was soon repaired and the plants have survived to maturity despite being on a public pathway.
Here is a picture when it was in flower:
The wall is south facing but there is the small matter of the school building to the south.
I always think climbing beans are as good as any ornamental climber. Did people help themselves to the beans?
ReplyDeleteI pick any beans left when watering, and have given them to any interested passers by. Otherwise they are added to the school garden harvests for any "crop shop" fundraisers.
