Planted Beans & Peas 2/16/13

We're expecting a frost tonight, but other than this unexpected fluke the weather has been exceptionally warm and nice.  I am taking a chance here, but I moved forward with planting some beans and peas today, in hopes of an early crop in the next 2 months.  I've never grown plants up the chicken coop before, but my theory is the vines will climb up the wire and the extra nutrients from the chicken manure in the coop will leach into the soil where the seeds are.  I'm also going to try growing Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans up the 4x4 fence posts.  Again, I'm hoping they will climb the posts, but only time will tell.
