I made a muntyframe for my runners, it is indeed a large, imposing affair, but I quite like it, it definitely gives a bit of "height" to the plot. And being able to sow salads etc underneath is nice too.
The only problem I have had is that my crop is so poor
planted out on 20th May just in time for a nice frosting and then has struggled through all this cold/damp weather.
Maybe I'll try sweet peas up it next year!
