Growing it out

  1. 01

    Push in two-metre canes before sowing, then set two or three seeds at the foot of each.

  2. 02

    Lead the first shoots to the cane; after that they wind up it by themselves, anticlockwise.

  3. 03

    Pinch out the tips when they reach the top so the plant puts its effort into pods.
