I sowed some snap green beans directly on the ground near the fence and I sowed some taro plants in the forefront. The beans will use the reed sticks that were stuck on the ground to climb onto once they start growing. This is to maximize the space in our small backyard garden because the beans will grow vertically along the fence. It takes some time for the taro plant to grow anyway, about 6 months before harvest. The taro plants will not be hampering the growth of the snap green beans even with their broad leaves because by then, the latter would be climbing the fence and the reed sticks as they grow faster than the taro plants. Besides, I will be transferring the taro plants in the new hill garden once they grow bigger. When it comes to watering, both of these plants likes a lot of water so they should do well being planted together.
The picture above is the back part of the garden. The ground in this area is about 3 feet lower from the garden level. Behind the flowers and the ferns is where I planted the snap green beans. The flowers and ferns are growing in between the stone retaining walls and the potted plants at the bottom are bromeliads.
