bean trellises
Comments (38)Catherinet, I've used cattle panels in an arch for several years for my beans, and they have done well on them--I'm not sure what the problem may be with yours. It's my favorite way to grow the beans now, because the way most of them are left hanging down inside the arch makes them so easy to pick, and you get to pick them in the shade! I tried teepees, but couldn't find the beans in the tangle towards the top. THis year I'm going to try growing some additional beans on some extra CRW tomato cages, to save on space. That worked very well with sugar snap peas and cucumbers last year. I've got asparagus bean seeds from Baker Creek (www.rareseeds.com http://rareseeds.com/seeds/Long-Beans) and larger quantities from Harvest Moon Seeds (www.felcopruners.net http://www.felcopruners.net/index.php/cPath/146_153). You can also find them called yard long beans or just long beans Leigh Here is a link that might be useful: Baker Creek Long Beans...See MorePumpkins on trellises
Comments (4)I don't know how big this half barrel is; if you can give actual dimensions it's more helpful. I'm growing Seminoles in a 'planter' made of slabs of marble. the whole thing is about 4 feet wide by 2.5 feet high by 2.5 feet deep. They're running up a dead tree and I have around 13 fruit set now. One thing that helps is, if you can get a longer container, to plant the seeds on one end and let them trail across the top of the soil before they actually go up the trellis. This gives the vines the chance to send roots into the soil from each root node. Normally regular pumpkins trail and root in as they go; this helps the plant. You can't really achieve than in a planter but the more roots you can get, the better. And of course you'll want to give them a really rich mix with lots of rotten composted and manure mixed in.

Comments (7)Because I just found out that I should follow a low-salt diet, and because I am the only one, I find myself eating the same thing over and over. In addition, I have not been able to find a seasoning mix that really stirs up my passion for food, so I end up eating just to live and not really enjoying my food. I am not much of a meat or fish eater. Can somebody give me some hints that could help me to enjoy at least some of my food. Have lost quite a bit of weight.so need to be cognizant of this. Don't have any trouble with fruit, just veggies and protein. The stuff the dietician gave me has not helped much. Please help me if you have any help or can refer me to any other.I use Dash but don't seem to like theirs either and I understand that you have to be careful of Potassium salts in some of the mixes. Thanks in advance. Barb...See MoreClimbing Rose for Garage Trellises
Comments (13)Tara, I'm also in zone 5 and I grow a lot of climbers, some of which are on a north wall. Mad is right that you need to pick north wall climbers more carefully than climbers in another site, since the north facing in my experience means that you'll need another zone's worth of protection for the rose to have surviving cane and climb. Some climbers might survive and regrow from the roots each year in zone 5, but not climb above 5' or so in a given year before dying to the ground again each winter. In that case it's a mistake to consider those climbers in our zone. You want roses that are "cane hardy" in our zone, which means they will have surviving cane in most winters. The most cane hardy climbers are those sold as Canadian Explorers like Quadra below. He's ridiculously hardy and blooms pretty much all season, but I wouldn't attach him to a trellis attached to a house - he'd eat the trellis and half of your siding for lunch. I have mine on a free standing arch and he owns the arch and doesn't play well with friends, being pretty thorny. Behind Quadra is a plant of Eden that you'd think would create the lovely photo you've imagined, and in warmer zones it does. However, while mine survives on the North side of the house, it's one of those roses that only blooms on surviving cane and that has only happened 2 of the 8 years I've had this rose. Even in years it blooms for me, I've only had one bloom cycle in a year for maybe 2 weeks. Probably not what you have in mind. I've posted other cream/white climber photos that would work on a north facing wall in a posting by Vicki zone 6 (climbers for a north facing wall) that's currently on page 2 in roses. In our zone, Buff Beauty wouldn't take a north wall and have surviving cane, but either Lunar Mist or Colette probably would. Lunar Mist (below) is yellow and Colette is a medium pink. Mine don't get as lush as in warmer zones, but they reliably have surviving cane. As for clematis, they LOVVVVE our loamy soil and grow exceedingly well for me on any surface in any part of my yard. I haven't had trouble overwintering most of them, even MultiBlue that's supposed to be a little more tender (it's on the north facing wall in front of Quadra). Unfortunately, that one doesn't bloom that often - here's one reblooming among some early mums in September: A good solid purple clematis that you can find just about anywhere is Jackmanii. Here's one of them (or maybe it's a Hagley Hybrid) attacking my fence early in the season before it's really climbing. The trouble in our zone (I think your soil is similar to mine) is that the photo you saw won't look that way - not because the clematis won't thrive, but because it will thrive far better than most of the roses. Here's one solitary Jeanne LaJoie climbing mini being totally swamped by two aggressive clematis (including the lovely pink reblooming but thuggish Princess Diana clem), and it's still early in the rose season and prime rose time relatively speaking. By late summer you literally can't see the rose on this arch, and you can only catch a few rose blooms here and there in this picture even now. Bottom line is that in our zones, you may need to rethink this picture and plan for a clematis with a rose accent, rather than rose with clematis accent. For most of my clematis, that means this would be mostly a June or July statement, with not a lot of bloom the rest of the year. Alternatively you could pick a killer once-blooming rose for early summer bloom (like Alchemist) and then a clematis to fill in the rest of the year, and not worry about them overlapping. In my experience, trying to time them to bloom together hasn't worked out as I planned. You could do Lunar Mist or Aloha or Colette that bloom frequently and a not too aggressive clematis like Multiblue, and have the occasional overlap, but not like the picture you have. It's all good, just may not work out exactly like the picture in your zone. If you want to see a lot of other rose clematis combinations, I posted lots of pictures in a thread a couple of years ago - something like Rose vs. Clematis, the Epic Battle. In nearly every case, the clematis won. Cynthia...See MorePlumeria Girl (Florida ,9b)
