I have some Blue Lake Stringless pole beans in my garden. I built an 8
foot
tall trellis for them to climb on. They very quickly shot up to the top,
and
now I have 4+ foot of vines waving in the air above the trellis, for a
total
length of ~12+ feet. Is this normal? How do you normally grow pole beans?

Um, your name wouldn't happen to be Jack?

I feel that way sometimes. I have sunflowers pushing 15 feet, they tower way
above the corn. My tomatillos have hit 6-7 feet tall, and I no longer have
pathways between the rows - they weren't supposed to get so tall! My pumpkin
vine is an easy 20 feet long in several directions. And yet I can't get okra
or cucumbers to grow worth squat...
