my beds in the back garden 3 of them 5.5'' by 19.5'' face east/west i grow the crop facing north/south. what way do you grow yours, im most interested in climbing beans as i know they tend to shade each other...

Well i have my climbing frame west/east but i have my rows north/south.

But my neighbours is everything north/south.

Hope this helps

I go north south, the tall stuff is ok N S if you can aford 6' between the rows

I just stick mine in any old where but avoid tall crops near each other so go for high with low on either side.... a bit of shade in our scorching summer to come might be welcomed!

I go north south and if possible with tall stuff at the north end or on the west side. I don't think it matters too much apart from with crops that have a long growing season.

I have my beds running north to south, and only plant tall crops at the north ends  and never in the bed that is in front of the greenhouse

[Aidy]

Beds east/ west and the crops north south. Non of my veg have a dark side

North-South is the natural way of things (look in the mirror!!)

The only time I really worry about this at all is when planting fruit trees that will stay in place for years...  and I check to see the climbing beans only cast shade on things that appreciate it... courgettes seem happy once they get going.
