Do you place seeds along the edges of the obelisk, or also inside the obelisk? What do you use to affix the growing shoots to the sides of the obelisk?

Thanks in advance for any advise or comments.

I planted the outside edge only. This year one of the stalks grew up through the center of the pillar, and it's kind of a nuisance to reach through the other vines to reach the peas. Also, the middle plant probably isn't getting as much sun as the outside ones, and I imagine that the ventilation is probably better when plants are only on the outside (discourages mildew).

As far as tying them up, they're happy to wrap their little tendrils around anything skinny enough, including other pea stalks. Just keep an eye on them, and help them along occasionally be redirecting them where you want them to go. Occationally I tie them up when the stalks get too top heavy and pull away from the fencing.

Thanks.
