| I am going to plant Mr. Big peas. I think they get up to 3 ft. I was wondering about an attractive way to trellis them. I have thought about the blue tee pees for the beans. But since thse can be planted a couple inches apart, I wasnt sure of the best way.

| Here's what I'm doing for my climbers this year. My DH made trellis' with cattle panels from the farm supply store. We set them across the boxes to make a tunnel effect when the veggies grow across. We're planting our cukes, green beans, and butter beans on them. I really like the way they came out! BTW, pardon the mess, we just got the "bones" finished and haven't planted our boxes yet :)

| Wow, that should look nice when grown over. great idea. and I understand about bare bones, mine is in the same situation so far. tammy |

| Personally, I like the look of branches/twigs. Martha Stewart did a segment on one of her shows where she used, I think, black ash branches for her peas. It was gorgeous. And very easy. She just pushed them in every 8 inches or so. It's a very "country garden" look. |

| Thanks Susan. I would have loved to seen that segment. Tammy |

| I saw it "On Demand," so maybe it's still available? Or maybe they're rerunning the segment? It was about starting a spring garden. You might also check her website. I haven't looked, but she may have something there. Something about the pale green peas and the dark branches. Really lovely. |

| Thanks Susan. i will see if I can find anything. tammy |
