I did put plants in at a more aggressive 45 degree this year,that should help ?but when they start reaching for the sky look out!!
Any and all advice would be very much appreciated.

i would like to take this time to thank all the former and current military men and women.i would also like to say a big "job well done" in the recent killing of a very bad seed in bin laden.no matter what happens from here on out (and it may get bad), bin laden had to be pay for what he did to the usa, and pay he did. i realize there are several thousand families missing family members since 9/11 and bin laden is only one man, but we are talking about one of the worst men in our nations history and silencing him forever just had to be done.to all you that have loved ones in the continuing fight for democracy, my hat is off to you and them, and wish you both godspeed in these uncharted waters.i would like to hear from some past and or current military people and see what they have to say.be safe and bring those american flags back home in a box , not draped over one, been way too much of that in this hunt that has now captured its main target.bring the boys(and girls) home.

last year I set them in the dirt at the 45 degree angle and used bamboo skewers and small increments gradually brought them down where they needed to be. Hope this helps!! Erik

Bamboo stakes for support works every time

Bamboo stakes on top & underneath!!!! On top to help bring the vine down & help w/ wind control, and underneath, to help it lay down slowly!!! Either end of this can cause tragedy!!! Hope this helps!!! Also, do adjustments in warm part of the day!!!! Cold means brittle, and snapage!!! Gently, a lil at a time!!!! Peace, Wayne
