This is not an instant play house but when it comes to ‘fruition’ it’s lots of fun! …and you get beans!


Material

  • 6 Bamboo poles, garden stakes or trimmed branches
  • 1 Roll of garden twine
  • 3 Climbing beans

Method

  1. Draw a circle in your garden bed approximately 4ft in diameter
  2. Place your poles at even intervals then widen the gap between the two facing the front. Push the bases of the poles firmly into the ground. Gather the tops of the poles together and secure with a piece of twine.
  3. Begin weaving your twine around your teepee from the base, stopping when you get the the door opening and reversing. This doesn't need to be perfect, aim for about 6"; between each row tied on every so often so the beans don't pull it down
  4. Dig a hole at the base of three of your posts and plant in your peas, seedlings are best, lots of things like to eat beans!

Notes

Beans grow surprisingly fast! This will come together faster than you think!

  • Wonderful idea for the beans.
    Depends on where you live as to if this would be a good idea to let the kids play inside.
    Here you would have to check for snakes and spiders.

  • That’s cool! We grow beans too, we love the purple coloured ones. Next time I’ll try it this way just for fun. We always grew it on straight line and in rows so we can see everything when it comes bushy. I just hope no snakes will decide to live inside it or my dog Sally will go crazy. (LOL)

  • Nice work on this one. Looks good better than having vines running everywhere and with this I am sure you never run out also.

  • I wonder if this would work with snow peas? We don’t eat a lot of beans, but snow peas go like hotcakes in our house, any time of the year. Must give it a go, always good to grow your own vegies.
