Any suggestions, tips please

TIA

I wouldn't they get huge. I would you need a space at least 2m x 1m and then some.

As Roitelet says.........6ft sq per plant should be adequate.

This is very true ^^^^, but I have read that you can train your plant to grow in a circle if you put canes in. I'm not sure I believe it though ............

[Florence Fennel]

Actually NotWhat, looking at x marks the spot, I would risk it if you can let it sprawl north and south

would also swamp those sweet peas/peas you have growing up the netting?

20 points for observation Nicos, I missed those!

Oh dear

[Nicos]

It'd be interesting to see what peeps would grow/ put there!

Is there meant to be a photo or am I missing the joke?

No joke Alison...I'll see if I can post the piccie here...can't you see the link in the first post?



Ok...it's too big, but you can see where we're talking about!

[Alison]

No link at all, that's why I thought it was some in joke / spot the ball type idea - probably another limitation of stupid forum-lite

...but you can see the piccie I just put there in my last post?

[Alison]

Now I can see it I'd be more concerned that it's a bit if a shadowed corner behind the greenhouse, wouldn't have thought it was the ideal place to plant anything except maybe salad stuffs but if you've got a spare plant and want to try it then give it a go and see as I could be talking rubbish again
