Supporting acts

I have two problems; I've got some holes in the borders and I've planted up too many beans. The solution? Planting beans in the flower beds. But in order to look pretty enough to fit in and have enough support, I've put in some shapely willow obelisks which I bought at the Long Barn. A mixture of borlotti beans and dwarf runner beans are planted round the base andwill, with any luck, soon shoot up and cover the obelisk with beans and flowers.

Meanwhile, other things are growing, shoots are shooting and fruits are fruiting. As the veggies get bigger, everything needs a bit of support to do it's things, especially the pot bound ones. I've created a climbing frame for cucumbers and an eight foot pole for the turks turban squash.

The rest of the holes have been filled with an amazing Cosmos called Mochachoca, with deep rich petals and a delicious chocolate scent and Verbena Bonariensis, my best beloved's favourite flowers. I've also popped in a sentimental blue agapanthus which reminds me of my Nan's garden in Falmouth and featured at my parents wedding.
