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.

Thanks Guys :-)



Does pinching out the tops actually work? Or do they simply put out more
side shoots?
