When my winged bean/ sigarilyas plants started crawling, I put up a small trellis. Later I learned, the trellis I made was too small and that I need to put a bigger one. It was a dilemma to me since I do not have a big land. As you know, our garden is just about 2 feet by 6 feet (or 8, sorry I can’t remember), so it really is very small. This is how my first trellis looked:
The photo was taken last May then in June, the winged bean/ sigarilyas completely covered the trellis. I was thrilled seeing the beans growing and was more thrilled when last week of June, I discovered that it’s starting to grow flowers! I was so overwhelmed with the thought that the beans will soon start to bear fruit. So what I did was to add more trellis to support the growing plant. A brilliant idea came to me and here it is:
If you can notice, the first photo (trellis) was outside while the second trellis I made was inside. In a way, it will also serve as a shade when we have small parties or art and crafts activity on that area.
Aside from being a shade to us, picking the fruit would be easier with this kind of trellis.
