There was a thread about pruning -- was it tomatoes? -- where it was
thought that pruning wouldn't hurt output? Have I got that right?

I am facing similar situation. My green bean vines just LEAPED up the
6-foot netting, and now are waving their antennae in open air. I am
reluctant to prune when they have barely begun to flower, much less
fruit. Should I train them to start down wards? Or? Tx for any
help.
