   A different type of bean trellis

      When I first planted the fruit trees out in our orchard I made these   
   giant cages of concrete reinforcing wire to keep the deer from eating   
   them - with a 30" top extension of stock fencing for a total height of 7   
   1/2 feet . Diameter is around 3 feet so about 9.5 linear feet perimeter   
   . I put 2 of these out in the garden today and planted Blue Lake pole   
   beans every 6" around the base . If this works like I hope it'll be like   
   18 feet of 7 1/2 foot trellis . And a whole lotta beans .   
      In other news , I got all the vine crops and the bell peppers in the   
   ground today as well as planting some okra and pulling weeds on the bulb   
   onion row . I shoulda picked strawberries today but they'll wait until   
   tomorrow , production has slowed a bit .
