Ooh, I like that idea! My husband has been cutting up a maple tree for our neighbor. I'll have to have him save me some branches.

I'm excited to see it covered w/ beans! 
I wish I could have gotten a little more length to the poles, but trees don't get very big here.

Years ago, I remember reading an article in a gardening magazine, that some type tree stakes stimulate the beans growth, while others could stunt them.. to long for me to remember does any one know if this is true?journey11 said:

we are SOOOOOOO behind this year due to first the weather and then a broken tiller.
FINALLY got both gardens tilled last night.
Well, DH did. He makes it look so easy I thought I'd give it a try. That thing tossed me all over like a rag doll.
I got the peas planted next to my cattle panel trellis. 6 rows of corn (rows are 20 ft long), onions, nasturtiums, Hollyhocks, and quinoa. Um, I think thats it.
Tonight I have to get in as MUCH as I can because the next 7 days are rain.

I got my beans planted pole and Scarlet Runner, sunflowers, and I transplanted my moon and star watermelons in to the garden.

How do you like those moon and star melons? I am yet to try them.

Last year I harvested mine to early, but they were still pretty good tasting, but with large seeds. Hopefully this year they will get a chance to fully ripen.vfem said:

Either it was last night, or the night before (can't remember), I got some acorn squash, cantaloupe, lemon cuc's, and a couple 8-ball zuc seeds in the ground.
The rattlesnake pole beans I planted on 5/23 are almost all up! YAY!!

Even tho' it was 35F in my garden one morning this week, I got some bush bean seed in the ground. I'm anticipating warmer weather, soon !
The spinach is up real good in my Shady Corner. Yes, I know - I could have planted spinach seed weeks and weeks ago. I just realized one reason I was slow about getting that seed in the ground - other than the cool conditions, especially in a bed that has shade thru much of the afternoon. I've got lots of orache!
Orache is such a close cousin to spinach that it has virtually the same uses and, very nearly, the same flavor. There's been a little bit to nibble on out there but today was the 1st day for me to bring a bag of the 2010 volunteers into the kitchen for tomorrow's dinner!
I suspect that it is really late this year but, I'll forgive it.
