Beans include many types of snap beans, pole beans, and Southern peas, such as black-eyed types. Plant these in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Because they grow so fast, start beans from seed directly in the garden. To speed their sprouting, soak seeds in water overnight before planting.
Green beans that grow on low, bush type plants tend to concentrate their production into a short time period, so you need to be prepared for three or four good harvests and then pull up the plants. Some gardeners will make several plantings of bush beans spaced two weeks apart to keep the harvest going through summer. On the other hand, pole beans grow on tall vines and need a trellis on which to climb. They will continue producing from spring to frost if harvested frequently. Beans will need harvesting every day or two to be sure beans don’t sit on the vines and ripen. If this happens, they will slow production.
Sometimes beans enter a lull in hot weather. Just be patient. As soon as the nights cool down a little, healthy plants will pick up where they left off.
One of the first vegetables to be planted in spring, peas are cool weather plants that continue bearing until the weather gets too hot in summer. Plant peas in late winter or early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Most English peas, sugar snap peas, and snow peas will need a trellis to support the 4 to 6-foot tall vines. Even dwarf selections only 2 to 3 feet tall tend to fall over, so they also need some kind of support, such as a stick or small stake around which they can wrap.
Because they grow so fast, start peas from seed directly in the garden. Soak them in water overnight before planting to speed germination.

Clematis for Pots and Containers
Use a large pot, bigger the better as the roots need room to grow and the soil needs to hold moisture. 18″ depth and diameter are needed. Use good quality compost and add a slow release fertiliser. Top dress each year and add more slow release fertiliser. Repot when the compost is totally denuded of goodness, perhaps every 5 years. Plant deeply as you would in the garden, to avoid clematis wilt. Water regularly and avoid drying winds and strong sunshine. Support the vine with a good quality, firm framework.

Growing Guidance for Paeonias
Commemorating Paeon, an ancient Greek physician, is said to have first used P. officinalis medicinally. Although the genus has long been considered a member of the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae, some modern botanists now place it in a family of its own, Paeoniaceae. A genus of 33 species of hardy herbaceous and shrubby perennials and a few shrubs, among the noblest and most decorative plants for a sunny or shaded border. The main division of the genus is between the herbaceous and the tree paeony, but botanically, the matter is much more complex.
