Try scarlet runner beans. They grow fast, have lovely leaves, make a thick
screen, and are edible to boot.

We have a deck on the back of our house that is virtually unusable during
a
sunny day when the temperature gets above 75 or so. We were thinking of
planting a screen made of green beans in two large pots with a trellise
between them. The idea is to train the beans up the trellise.

I am wondering if a 1x1x4 foot container would be large enough for the
beans.

Does anybody have any experience growing beans in containers?
