Growing Off Piste

No Allotment? No Problem!
We have a really ugly window with bars on at the front of our workshop. To try and disguise it, and possibly get something nice to eat I filled some old parts bins with compost, and planted some green beans.
I have to make sure and water them every day, the "pots" are quite small. I also threw a little "growmore" fertilizer on top. This week the first flowers started showing. Next stop beans? I hope so.

To make it look a little nicer than the poorly fitted bars, I tied garden canes in place. This is good for the beans to grow up, and makes the whole thing look a bit more finished, at least I think so.
I finished the look off with some slug barrier copper wire, looped against the canes.
Slug wire and Grow More are available on Amazon.
