Grow Your Own Magazine

this is my first attempt to grow veg, i've put mangetout, petit pois, sugar snap peas and french green beans along a wall with a green net (suggested for growing peas) will that work??? I didn't research enough before I started, just got an urge to grow my own

Hmmm can't totally 'see' it, but I don't see why not - they're climbers right?

well I do have a picture of it but am a bit too embarressed to put it up............they are meant to be climbers.........i think

oh come on, you can't tease us by saying you've got a piccie, then not posting it Let's have a look then

Go with it - half the fun of gardening is learning from your mistakes. I see no reason why they should climb it. If not find some twiggy bits of wood for them to climb over.

ye will laugh at it!!..............bear in mind its my first attempt, how do i post the pic??

I promise not to laugh (well I might, but it'll only be a little titter ) Sorry, got no idea on how you post a piccie on here though

testing?????

oh it looks so wee

Awwwwwwww, thats fab, I can't see any reason why they won't start to climb up that netting (and I didn't laugh, promise )

Oh smartiepants Mizzel,
First time and you manage to unravel one of those nets from hell!!!!!!
Perfect garden.

aw thanks..............net from hell is right.........took hours to sort out!!........i've become quite obsessed with my little garden and check it every morning and evening.......is that normal??

I REALLY hope so
Tx
p.s. sometimes I check it more often - just in case!!

I sure hope so else I think its the funny farm for both of us....!

Great idea with the netting (note to self - must steal idea....! )

Looks good. I have covered all mine in netting just to keep the slugs and snails and birds out!

Whoops photo's a bit big - how do you make them smaller?

I haven't got any spare garden for veggies so I have had to sow all mine in grow bags but they are coming on fine. The photo was take about two weeks ago so everything has grown a lot more since then.

wow thats impressive!!! how did you manage that net??? i'm nearly killed myself twice just getting mine across the wall

Mizzel, looks like a really nicely organized bed and I think the netting will work fine. We have ancient wooden trellising around our garden and I rely on that for holding everything up which is far madder than your netting!
