We got the new trellis materials in place today. We're using a jute netting with 6 inch square openings tied to the old metal frame with garden twine. Now we'll be ready to plant the beans when the soil warms up some more. BeetBear says "Don't talk to me about jute netting ever again..."

@richrollgardener@toot.wales I’m willing to bet that jute netting is a lot easier to manage than the ghastly plastic stuff I wrestled with for far too long for my sweet peas.

@richrollgardener@toot.wales did you buy jute netting somewhere or did you weave it yourself? We use a lot of jute twine, but I haven't seen it sold already netted. That would save a lot of work ...

That beet bear looks like a great helper
