This year (having given it extraordinary thought) I intend to cross
my canes just 4 feet above the ground, so that the top of the cane
hangs outward. Advantages are that the horizontal cane can be
tied in at a comfortable height for someone of advanced years and
the beans should hang down in full view. Disadvantages are that
the plants will require more guidance in their twining and there may
be less humidity round the plants (not that this will matter in the
North of Scotland!) - time will tell
