'well, momma always planted 3 seeds in a spot, one for me, one for the
critters, and one for sure, so that's what i usually do and in the
case of the corn, right next to the corn stalks which were about a
foot high when i planted the beans. I am also a novice at this as it
has been about 50 years since i have planted corn myself. Left that
job to others during the past years. I really don't know what the
optimum number of beans vines a stalk can handle : )
i am in US zone 7 so can plant earlier than some on the group. we have
had 90+ degrees many times already this year.

I'm new to this stuff. I've always pretty much stuck to tomatoes but this
year I'm going for more. I dug up the corner of the back yard to about 12
ft. square and planted the tomatoes along the wall. I have some corn started
in pots and some beans. I like your idea of letting them grow up the corn
stalks. I wish I had started the corn much earlier. They are only about 8
in. and in starter posts still. How many bean plants do you use for each
corn stalk? Anywhoo ...... thanks for the tip.

om...
corn etc.. my corn is over 4 feet tall already and the
beans that are to grow up them are about 15 inches mostly. I didn't
start them in the "greenhous" though G
