  • Munty Frame Challenge!

    As I know you guys are always up for a challenge, so here's one for you. As you may know I've been in the process of making a Munty Structure out of greenhouse frames, well it's complete...............Da da...............

    Reet...........Now for the challenge cos my head's frazzelled. There are 20 usable uprights so I'm looking for 10 individual plants that I can pair up & grow up & over it. So far I'm thinking:
    2 Climbing Courgettes opposite each other, then 2 Runner Beans Opposite each other, then 2 Outdoor Cordon Toms opposite each other............you get the jist but I've drawn a blank so need your help.

    As always, thanks in advance.

    Surely if you run poly twine from the roof bar and loop them over the side bar/tie canes to the side bar you can get a lot more in there? Particularly climbing beans. It looks FAB by the way. Very envious of your double munty.

      Also achocha & kiwano though these will travel off their uprights in their *grass is always greener* quest.

        Thanks Sparrow, fortunately space is not an issue. It's just a bit of fun for me to try but would love 10 different things.

                That's brilliant BM. Love it.
                How about Nasturtium. Bing in the pollinators and good in your salad.

                    Was going to say albenga,but got beaten to it,sweet pea's,clematice,yellow and purple french climbers,out door cues,if any space left,borlotta beans,the flowers will attract the pollinators,the cues and beans easier to pic,any beans left to dry for storing would be ok out some of the elements to,hopefully,plus you couls always put some net up at the ends to help protect,how about some hanging baskets from the centre apex,of things like,strawberry,salad stuff,sweet dumpling are also a nice climber/tie it on.

                          You could grow grape vines & we could all sit underneath drinking the wine?
