We favour tunnels of canes for our runner and french beans, with added guy ropes at each end, tied to strong wooden posts deeply embedded in the ground. As we garden on the side of a hill we get alot of wind, and so far hazel bean poles in tunnels have withstood the ferocious winds of the past few summers.
Anyone found anything better than a compost heap to grow courgettes on?

Mary - I grew courgettes successfully last year in a large pot filled with bought compost - you just need to remember to feed and water and they grow well.
We live in Westbury and would love to speak to you about growing some veg in your garden if possible.

Rough guide-
Sow in the next couple of weeks, plant around the end of the month- not before
