I don't really use any supports. Here I have several vines growing up the wall.....With the exception of my Chinese red noodle beans that had a small piece of lattice that was attached to bamboo stakes, even that just grew up the wall. [img_assist|nid=1521|title=Vines growing up the wall|desc=I have cardinal climber, cypress vine and morning glories all growing up this wall. There were no supports: they just grew up the wall themselves. Occasionally I would stick them into various places to try to get them to stay...Most of the time, it fell over, but ultimately, this is what I had.|link=popup|align=left|width=134|height=200] [img_assist|nid=1524|title=Morning glories growing up the wall|desc=I have morning glories growing up a wall here.

They have been producing more and more since then, but due to the requests I have been getting for seed from GH members (and of course myself,) I am leaving the beans on the vines to mature enough to produce seeds and then harvesting the vines to get the seeds. It's proving to be really fun and exciting. These beans are highly nutritious and are said to be a good source of protein. They grow vigorous and tall vines so they require ample support, but they are also prolific producers that seem to do really well and thrive in hot weather more than most other vegetables.|link=popup|align=left|width=134|height=200]
