Green Beans

Planted on the far left of the plot this year - 3 rows, two close together.
One type of  bean has not done well two years in a row.  It is the climber that produces the extra long French style beans.  It seems to have trouble climbing, and ends up piled on itself at the base of the pole.  DO NOT PLANT NEXT YEAR!
The Blue Lake beans still do well, as do the flat beans from Dam Seeds.  The flat italian beans from Fiesta also produce a nice very broad bean.

Great idea for a growing trellis:  http://www.permies.com/t/761/organic/Simple-trellis-green-beans
