Default Cucumbers and beans in Melbourne

I have just started this year growing the 'burpless' cucumber and they are
happy growing up a homemade trellis of garden canes...

Have you tried growing bush beans? I have just had a bumper crop of beans
'Brown Beauty' im in Queensland. These dont require any support and grow
approx 60-80cm in height...

Happy Gardening!

I have a lovely big new veggie bed and have planted all the old faves. Two
new items I wanted to try are cucumbers and beans.
I have some seedlings of the continental/burpless variety. What is the
best way to support them as they grow? They have been planted in a row.
Also I can't decide what beans to plant. Can anyone recommend some tasty
varieties? Easiest support for them to grow on?
Cheers
