Growing Info
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

Because bush beans were developed from pole beans (for condensed and easier harvests), sometimes they can revert to some of the traits of their predecessors by stretching and getting a little lanky before settling into more of a compact bush habit. Thus, why your bush bean appears to be a pole bean.

Almost 100% germination and they seem to love this fall weather. Planted 4 weeks ago and they are over a foot tall and blooming. I have other beans in the bed that seem to be more susceptible, these are healthy and thriving.

Beans are growing well. Everything is growing well except the orange bell peppers never emerged.
