Bean Poles

I keep adding things in the vegetable garden. Behind the bean poles are two new tomatoes. Should I paint the poles a festive color or let them age to a natural brown?



The sweet corn is up and fresh deer tracks have been spotted just along my drive several times in the last two weeks. Nary a nibble of the produce so far, other than insectivorous kind.

I say go for a festive color. Maybe it will disorient the deer!

I was thinking along the same lines as Cindy. I think you need a nice shot of color there with all the brown (mulch) and green (plants).

I like the natural color on bamboo bean poles. Once the pole beans climb them, you can't see them, anyway!

Oh dear. How long can that last?

Oh deer indeed.

I was looking at luminescent paint online. It is basically clear during the day and glows at night. Wouldn't that be trippy to night time drivers! Very expensive though.

I like the natural color, and you could always put a silver streamer on the top to blow around and scare the deer. (Or attract them to your "sales promo" :)
