Please help a novice!  Where do I get the metal posts from to enable me to build my runner bean frame? Any suggestions please? John,s wife Liz :?

Doesn't have to be metal & doesn't have to be netting. What about our very own 'Munty Bean Frame?'...

If you want to stick to metal posts, what about clothes line posts from a DIY store?

No doubt someone will be along with a better idea!

I just make wigwam shapes from 7ft canes and they grow up them all on their own.  No messing about!

There cannot be anything better than our very own Munty's frame. I intend to be using self said and complaining about too many beans this year rather than too few!

Not only will I be making a Munty frame myself, I'll be doing a speaking engagement soon at a garden club and telling them about it. Munty's fame will spread far

You could do a small display of John's book as well. (That will be another fiver.)
And are you going to school them in the motto "Werks Fer Me"?

You bet!!

Was just prepping the ground for my climbing runner beans today, not going out yet mind you, too small yet, but was working out how to put up the munty frame, can't wait to try it.
