This summer we've had our big backyard project to work on so we didn't want to spend too much time or energy on a vegetable garden. But we felt like we needed to throw a few tomato plants, peppers, pumpkins, and grean beans in the ground and see what would happen. So we did.
Instead of installing posts and string for the greenbeans we found an old wooden ladder we had sitting in the garage and shoved the legs in the ground so it wouldn't tip over. That took all of two minutes.
(Please ignore any weeds)
And I had this old flower cage in the shed, that got shoved into the ground too. Another two minute job.
They don't seem to mind climbing up the ladder.

That's fun. You're not going to can them again this year are you?
Had fun yesterday. Thanks
We always grow bush beans so we don't have to find something for them to grow on, but they're not as picturesque as with your ladder. CUTE!
Too cute! Love the ladder idea.
Great idea, Mimi! Love it.

Hi Sue...I can't grow a thing here in Georgia..the weather is so stinkin hot that when we got back from Jersey this week our front lawn was so dry that the dirt looked actually white....you couldn;t get a shovel in that if you used dynamite....but I do love your use of the ladder...very clever!...glad you liked the Cake Boss post...that was a real experiance...
And I plant my seeds and rarely ever see them come up. I must try your way!

How fun that you've been photographing the progression. I'm sorry I've been so MIA this Summer. But I loved catching up over here. The Post about your 90 year-old neighbor really got me!!! I needed that story today...what a cute little trooper. : )
Take care, Mimi Sue.
