How is a tepee for pole beans made?
Take 3-6 long sticks, maybe 8′ long. Tie them together at the top. Stick the ends in the earth in a big circle. Plant several beans around the bottom of each pole. The beans will grow up the pole (you may need to encourage them to wrap around the pole at first). If you don’t space the poles quite evenly but leave a gap or entrance, when the beans have grown up in midsummer a child can crawl inside and be cool even on a hot day.
