Default String beans climbing too high
said:


My string beans are climbing so high, they are above
the netting strung against 6' wall, and waving their tendrils
desperately in the air.

Will it upset them if I nip off the too-high portions?

I generally find that when they don't have anything to twine around they
end up flopping back down into reachable territory (all twisted around
each other). They also end up sending out new flowers down at the bottom
again even without being snipped off at the top. So, I've never found it
neccessary to make an experiment of how they'd react if I nipped them off.
