Do these pole beans ever have beans?
Last year, I planted Italian Green beans and enjoyed them. This year I
planted the Kentucky King, a bush bean that looks like a string bean and tastes like an Italian Green Bean. They were somewhat slow in growing, so I also planted the Kentucky Wonder pole bean. The bush bean gave me some beans this weekend, but the pole beans and growing like Jack and the beanstalk but I have yet to see a bean on them. Do these things ever have beans or are they going to be like my gorgeous watermelon vines when I was 13 that had vines and vines and vines but no watermelon? Jose |

Pole beans are normally a bit later to start bearing than bush beans, but they will bear more continuously. Because I only eat the beans fresh and don't can or freeze them, I prefer pole beans for the longer (and less rushed) harvest. Picking most of them while standing up is also a big advantage. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
