Will someone please settle an argument with 'er in doors'
From our local stable/garden centre for the disabled with learning difficulties I purchased 12 8ft 1" bamboo canes 50p each last year for the beans. Just finished re-setting the small fancy fencing along the veg plot and out she comes, didn't see any note pad or pencil to write down faults with what I've done, pheeew! the fence had approval.

Now to prevent a 'slap' from me I decided to come on here and ask.

She maintains the beans won't get to climb the canes because they're too thick.
No the canes aren't you are, I'll provide the beans with a ladder.
I ducked just in time as the rock thundered past my head.

So the obvious, will the beans climb these canes or should I put thinner canes in ?

The beans will certainly climb them, if you can keep the slugs off!

I use wooden stakes cut from where trees are growing in clumps
- with the farmers permission. Stake vary from about 1/2 inch
to around 2 inch diameter (mainly where a bend was or another
branch). Never had beans refusing to climb, but they usually
decide not to climb the one they were planted next to, awkard
little bu....s

They are exactly what we always use. I bought a bundle of 100 many years ago
and half are still in their wrapping waiting to be used.

Yes, of course they're all right. Sometimes beans need a little guidance
to get going round the cane, but that's not dependent on the thickness
of the cane. In the wild they climb up whatever they can find.
Remember to tell 'er indoors politely - she may be cooking your beans in
few weeks ;~).

I forgot to mention that, when new, canes are very smooth and I've found the
beans sometimes have a problem getting a grip so sometimes we have to tie
the beans up against the cane at the start. After they get going they are
fine.
