Default Green beans?

Oh, does the term "bush beans" mean to trellises?


no support should be needed at first but as the
plants get bigger they can fall over if they have
a lot of beans on them and the wind/rain is strong
enough or as they get older and begin to die off
then the roots will not support the plant any more
and it can fall over.

since you aren't interested in much of a dry bean
harvest pick off the beans before they get too old
and eat them. a few pods can be left to get seeds
to full size and then you can remove those for seed
saving for the next year(s) plantings.
