Memorial Day Weekend marks the start of the pole bean planting ceremonies in our household. Pole beans are a great plant. They grow quickly and they grow tall, but most importantly, they are delicious to eat -- which makes proper preparation for the plants an absolute must. As these beans will rapidly vine and cling onto any adjacent upright, we begin by putting bamboo stakes into the containers that will hold our beans. Next, these stakes are lashed together at the top with a bit of twine to form an overhead canopy so that all these wonderful beans will have all the sun they need -- and added benefit is that the beans will be easy to reach and pick. Here are some pics that explain things better:

| Look, it's easy! |
 |
| It does help to have an assistant, and a stepladder |
 |
| Just tie it with a bit of twine and any type of knot that works |
 |
| Can't wait to get the beans planted! This year we've got lots and lots of them! |

| Thanks! How did you know that I needed a cup of coffee? |
