My q. is: how many pickings is one supposed to get
from beans? These were a charming mixture of
yellow and green "French" beans, long and thin
and delicious, but didn't bear for a very extended period.
Is that typical of vine beans?

If you don't keep them picked, they stop bearing. We pick pole beans
daily and they bear from July until frost.

Also, they need a lot of water.


That was my experience, they bore heavily, especially in the late
summer. Even when they became covered in these black round poppy-seed
like fungus they kept producing if I kept picking.
