My green bean garden is 12' long and about 1 1/2 feet wide. I trellis it with hay twine and plant 25 seeds. I get so many green beans that my mom and I get sick 
and tired of green beans and look forward to a killing frost! DH never gets tired of green beans and loves to pick them. Plus plenty to give away to friends and family!

I notice nobody mentions cutshort or greasy beans. They are most all pole though.

Marshall, I never grew cutshort or greasy beans. With the production the Thai beans have, I don't need any more green beans. For the space I have, the Thai long beans git 'er done.marshallsmyth said:

Marshall, can you tell us what the taste/texture of a greasy bean is? Compared to a "regular" bean?

Vfem, I've seen those Dragon beans but I'm scared to plant anything that looks too different! lol I do remember you saying that they produce a lot. Maybe next year, I'll get the nerve to try them.

I'm perfectly happy with my Kentucky Wonder pole beans

I was too, Jared. I'll admit to having added purple bush beans along with the Greencrop by the time DW came along.
She didn't like how the purples left the cooking water, didn't like flat beans and claimed that KW's were too "lumpy"

Note Mary's response above . . . do you suppose it is latent anxiety from having read Jack & the Beanstock . . . or, something? You know, beans don't have the best reputation :/.
