    Looking good woo :thumbsup:
    May I ask: how have you made your bean supports? Are they extra long pea sticks/green bamboo with garden string? They look very effective

      Good afternoon @"M" well I used to use bean poles which were about 25 years old but decided that I needed some new one this year,so asked Mrs Woo to get me some at B and Q's,and she returned with these:heehee:
      They are bamboo canes coated in green plastic,very strong and will keep forever;)They were £6 for 10 canes:smile:

                      I think I spy .... polyanthus and then primrose? :noidea:
                      What is in the half barrel, please? Is it some variety of sedum? :scratch: No, wait ... it is aquilegia?

                      No matter, which ever plants they are, they are looking so cheery and working so hard to bring some lush Spring growth to warm the heart. Lovely shots :thumbsup:

                              Good Morning Woo....I was thinking that they would be ideal for sweet peas but you can't beat fresh runner beans straight from the garden! ;) :)
