Pole Green Beans
How to grow great pole beans? Well, first you have to have a few bamboo poles. They work the best because the bean sprouts can grip to the wood. Then you have to have lots of water and sunlight. I also fertilize mine with my regular lawn fertilizer. To keep your beans producing you have to pick them as soon as they are of decent size. Approximately 3 inches in length is a good rule of thumb. The best part about growing pole beans is that my 1 year old daughter has learned how to pick her own and well they are just great for her to eat and learn to take bites.
