Planted Rattlesnake green beans again this year. Used a different trellis this year. 5'x16' cattle pannels.

They're prolific. We picked 13 bushels off about that many shown a couple years ago.

That's a lot of beans. Once we get this place in shape, I have a 1/4 to 1/3 acre area to plant. I am still adjusting to having free irrigation water with our lake pump system.

Beautiful garden geron. So healthy and green looking. The arch saves lots of room for those limited to planting space.

the wire burnt my vines by July 4 Sorry to hear this. Still amazed about things I learn here. I would've never thought about wire trellises burning plant vines. It does all make since. Here farmers use bamboo poles crisscrossed like a teepee. Another one they do is tie six pack plastic loops together then attach these to two poles to form a trellis. Others have used small dead trees which is ingenious to me.

I had good luck with pvc pipe all sizes,could still make a trellises, but it shaded itself by the time it was hot enough to burn

First time I've used wire so will see. In the past I used 1/2 inch EMT strung with hemp. Liked that because when burned just cut the strings gather up the whole mess and compost or burn.
