do you grow them?
what kind(s)?
how do they do?
we've been growing the plain white fordhook type here for a long time and they do mostly ok, but this past year a large part of the harvest was only partially formed (true of almost all the beans grown). due to heat, drought, storms, etc.
so i'm looking for other varieties to add to the mix so that we can have more diversity in my planting (now that i have more space for an extra row and a half inside the fence plus more room outside the fence too).
climbers would be ok too, but i prefer to not get too many of those as i have limited fence space for those (and i have the scarlet runners and some others i grow too).
