Climbing bean or runner beans?
How to choose between them if room for only one?
Which are more productive?


I prefer (taste wise) french beans to runners.
I think runners can be a bit stringy, although I do like them if they are
harvested before they become this way.
As there's only me, I grow dwarf french beans and three plants will easily
last me a full season, all three go in one small planter on the patio
