A different type of bean trellis

It might be a little difficult to find some of the beans in the middle of that trellis.

I use rebar as individual poles for multiple plants for each pole. The poles started at 10 feet long, with a few extra feet welded to a few of them, and I push them maybe a foot and a half into the ground. This year, I have 8 poles spaced out over a line about 50 feet long. Sometime before the beans get near the top of the pole, I will tie a line to a tree at each end of the row which I will have wrapped a couple time around each pole, and pull the line tight to stabilize the distance between them. I then attach a couple lines to the fence on one side of the row, and the top of a couple of the poles 1/3 from the end of the row, and another line to the ground opposite the fence from the same pole to stabilize the row against tipping in the wind.

With my 10 foot orchard ladder, picking is easy. The beans go to the top, and then droop downward before they quit growing.

And they always grow counter clockwise around the pole.

At the end of the year, after harvesting the last beans left for seed, I remove the lines, pull the poles and beans from the ground, and just push the bean plants from one end of the pole to the other (bottom to top?), and off the pole. The remains get mowed up for the compost.

Sounds good. Firt crop of tomatoes due, possibly tomorrow. Ran nitrogen low so added some.

The marigolds are indeed keeping the rats and other rodents at bay (area problem in a spot that's been a huge international shipping port since before the American revolution).

Today, Chocolate bell peppers go in. Beans (wax and blue lake green) taking off with a bang. Lettuce should have baby crop in 2 weeks. Lots of green onions.
