I've got the canes in the garden ready for me to de-construct last years and re-contruct using the "Munty Frame" idea I've borrowed from this very forum.  I'm going to dig in some card and paper below the frame and attempt to build it tomorrow/Sunday.

Feels like you're making progress and getting a little tiny bit closer to spring, I think!

i usually put the poles up a few days before or the same day as the beans go in, nothing wrong with doing in now tho, its one less job to do!
Also like sowitgrowit says its best to add paper or cardboard in a bean trench a few months before the beans go in which will help store water over the summer months.
