Growing peas and broad beans against wall

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum, so hopefully I'm doing this right!

I have recently moved into a new house and have runner beans, peas, mange tout and tomatoes either germinating or in a cold frame. Shortly, I'm planning on planting them out against my garden wall (see attached photo). It's south facing so should get some good light/heat.

Do you have any ideas of how to train them? I think netting might be slightly messy with the tree in the way. There are old nails and hooks towards the top of the wall. Perhaps I could run wire across and then attach hazel stakes going down to the ground?

I have never grown against a wall like this so would really appreciate any tips!

Many thanks!

"There are old nails and hooks towards the top of the wall."

Get some baler twine at the local farm supply house. Tie the twine onto the old nails and hooks and drive in stakes down at ground level to attach the other end to. The vines will climb the twine.
