Here you can see my summer squash (patty pan 'Sunburst) trained up a bamboo 'tee-pee' structure together with runner bean 'Saint George'. The runners won the race to the top (no surprise there) but the squash are making a sure and steady progress. I first became aware of vertically trained cucurbits a few years ago as a volunteer at West Dean Gardens and it's been great to try it out for myself.

Regardless of the unfavourably dry conditions I've been on a sowing spree over the past few weeks. As a result, I've now got lots of 'little ones' to look after and have my nose to the ground daily scouring the soil surface for more expected nativities.

perhaps it's just my own 'Theory of Everything' potager related...
