To your last picture, we have yard-long (asparagus) beans set up using the cattle panel this way. Except, we planted it so that it covers the big bay window on our south facing living room wall to help shade it.

In the morning I go out to milk the goats and pick green beans for them as treats as well as for ourselves. All of our excess production goes to the local farmer's market on saturday morning to offset costs and allow us to eat for nearly free.

It's a system that eventually becomes self-sustaining. The asparagus beans are fantastic, love full-sun and need very little care. I live in North Florida so the growing season for them is long and we get like $4/lb for them at the market.

They also can well. But, for long-term storage we blanch them and vacuum pack them to pull out all winter long. Saute with garlic, onions, soy sauce and pepper with some butter.

Good Eats that! And I can get them to cut down my air conditioning bill.
