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 always pinch out the tops when they get to the top of the poles, I always
get a good crop, more than enough for our needs.
