working weekends

More experimenting with trellises and tee-pees have brought me to decide to build about twelve to fourteen tee=pees and just three pieces of cattle fencing will make a good trellis between the organic bush beans and pole beans and the organic lemon cucumbers. It will be interesting to see how it holds up with wet foliage. Maybe I'll put a support stake in the middles. So far I accomplished my goal of a zero dollar budget on supports.
