Scarlet runners are on of 6 varieties I'm growing this year. Hoping to get them planted this afternoon. I'm using bamboo for them to climb up on and got those set up yesterday. I was wondering if they needed any string run around the middle to help them climb. Wasn't sure if the bamboo would be too slippery for them to stick to. Was just going to try it without and see if they would latch on and add string later if they have problems climbing up.
That's pretty cool. I've used tent pegs too. Do you trellis cucumbers or let them sprawl? I'm asking around and so far the numbers are split.
