No Trellises for Bush Peas...
I recently looked up growing green arrow peas and found out that the type doesn't need a trellis. I was going to leave them in place because they looked good and they would provide a little support but basically they'd be wasted in that spot. They'd still look good but 3/4 of each trellis would have gone unused. Still I would have left them had a bunny not munched on my lettuce (in Potagar) today. The bunny gave me a push to put up the netting, at least around the lettuce bed, and the netting didn't sit right with the tepee trellises in place especially since the netting was already up on the bed in front of this particular bed. So I took them down and decided that since squash plants are pretty enormous they could use a trellis a piece.
