I was wondering what all the thoughts were about pinching out the tops of
beans when they reach the top of the bean poles?
Last year I let them run amok, and they seemed to get really bogged up. Im
using 6 foot poles and would be glad of any advice on this. :-)


I use a cage and persuade them to go over the top. The expression
"beans coming out of my ears" is nothing more nor less than the
truth ....
