Beans, Frost and Pop Bottles
Hi all
As per usual, I started by runner beans off on a window sill about 2 weeks ago (Scarlet Empire). They are already about 6" tall and will need planting out soon - I do not have cold frame or green house. We have recently had frost and hail here - East Yorkshire 3 mile from Humber Bridge - elevated location - there are no signs of a warm up! Some time ago while visiting some open gardens, I noticed one guy had covered some climbing plant with cut off pop bottles (neck uppermost). So the climber is protected to a height of 8-10", then has to make its way out of the narrow neck before continuing its journey skyward. Has anyone else tried this with beans - is it recommended? Thanks Phil |
