Bean Teepee

The bean teepee was one of my first garden tasks. I weeded and mulched it with hay when the bean plants were only about a foot high. I trained the shoots to climb up in spirals around the teepee poles and then patiently re-trained them when they went astray.The beans are scarlet runner beans and rattlesnake pole beans, when they are ready we will eat them like string beans: straight off the vine!

The movie spans from July 6 to July 27.
