hi all

i'm thinking of putting an arch up at the entrance to my plot and would like advice about what to grow over it.
Anybody have ideas, something evergreen and edible maybe ?

Thanks

I can't think of anything edible that is evergreen, but how about climbing beans or peas, maybe some climbing squash or how about achocha such as Fat Baby - you could be mean and grow Cyclanthera explodens instead (safety warnings and eye protection required) LOL

Whatever it is, make sure the arch is very well secured into the ground, as once they get any sort of coverage of leaves, the wind can push amazingly hard at the arch.

You could have a thornless tayberry perhaps

Grow something pretty and flowery to attract bee's, to aid pollination of all your lovely veg, also you could fasten on some herb pots here and there...in fact I think I'll get one
