Default possibly a really stupid question.......

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?

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.

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.

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!
