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

[Mizzel]

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

[smallblueplanet]

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

[Mizzel]

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

[Novice Gardener]

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

[Moyra]

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.

[Mizzel]

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

[Novice Gardener]

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

[Mizzel]

testing?????

[Mizzel]

oh it looks so wee

[Novice Gardener]

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.

[Mizzel]

[tootles]

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