I got tons of baby runner plants off of the "mother" plants, so my original 25 plants has almost doubled!! I'm hoping I will still get rooted runners in my bed to be transplanted later. Good luck with yours! And yes, keep them away from the Walnuts! :) anna-

They did wonderfully he first summer, but when fall came and the walnuts dropped, the juice hurt my plants, and the next year they didn't do so well. Frankly, the box is in a bad place, so it needs to move, and my runners are SOOO long, I wanted to try to pinch some off and get new plants. But you can't do that in a box. So I'm going to go to rows, so that I can 'grow' my patch. And now, see, I’m moving mine OUT of a raised bed and into rows.

Only I got lots of black widows that decided it was a nice place to live - but unless you have them in your area, you needn't worry. I think they would have invaded where I planted no matter what method I used. I'd love to hear if anyone has an organic method of deterring these spiders.
