Photo showing a vegetable garden in the spring, planted with rows of runner bean plants. These runner beans are a leguminous vegetable and are pictured here twining their way around up wigwam structures made from dried bamboo canes. They are just starting to flower and will soon be a mass of leaves, and covered in bean pods ready to harvest. The cloches made from green netting are designed to protect the crop from pigeons, caterpillars, and other pests. The black weed blanket membrane helps to both prevent weeds growing in the plot and retain moisture.
