It’s more for aesthetic purposes. My daughter’s only garden request this year was a plant-covered hideaway.
Used 6 foot bamboo poles since that’s what the store had, but if it works out I’ll probably try to find taller poles before next spring.
I also will need some individual plant covers - right now I make mini high tunnels to cover my beds (zone 4 so about a 90 day frost-free window). Normally the beans are further along but we had frost warnings even this week so I waited longer than usual to plant them because I don’t yet have a good way to cover them all planted like this.
