SFG peas and beans...

Do you stake them and give them something to grab onto?

Mine say that they don't need to be trellised, but they were grabbing onto my tomato plants, so I made my own little trellis. I took some tall sticks/branches, and made kind of a teepee with 4 of them and then I tied natural yarn at the top to hold them together. Then I tied some more yarn horizontally every 6 inches or so (going around the perimeter of the branches). Then I tied some vertically to fill it in and make squares.

I think it looks really cool, and it fits well in the squares (my peas are in two squares). It looks very natural.

You could just stick a plain one in there too though. I'm just weird. :P~

Trellis, that's the word I was wanting. LOL.

Cool idea, I think I'll try it.

:yes The handmade wigwam is popular. I saw it in a book and really liked it. :rockon

:yes Mine love climbing my trellis...I got a folding wire trellis that can either be zig-zagged or made into a triangle for about $4 from Lowes. It's called a tomato trellis I think. I have my peas and green beans next to each other in my sfg so they share the same triangled trellis. :)

I have one of those tomato trellis too. I have it zig zagged between my tomatoes. I think I'm going to buy another one for my squash.
