Bean vines climbing above netting
What to do? I have ambitious Yellow Wax Bean vines practically
RUNNING up the 6' netting against block wall. Some are now waving tendrils desperately. Never had this sitch before. Will I upset production if I cut off the top of the vines? Or what? Please rush solution g Tx Hypatia |

Bean vines climbing above netting
Pole beans can easily reach ten feet or more. I think mine are about 12 feet
long right now, and still going strong. I'm not sure what the record is - I'd like to grow them against a 25 foot pole just to see how high they can grow before the end of the growing season. The vines that run over the top of whatever they are climbing on will eventually bend down and wrap around the top of your netting, grow up again, bend down, etc. You end up with the vine travelling along the top of the netting, and a concentration of vines across the top. If you netting can handle it, then don't worry about it. I use an 8 foot 1x2 wooden trellis. The reach the top and grow along it, and I can just reach the top to harvest the beans that make it that high. wrote in message ... What to do?
