Green Beans - Pole Beans vs Bush Beans



Green Beans - Pole Beans vs. Bush Beans

Pole Bean: 

                 Pro - it's easier on your back and knees when harvesting, you don't have to bend down

                       - a space saver

                       - great taste (equal to the bush bean)

                 Con - you must provide a fence or trellis for the pole been to climb

                        - they can become wild looking and tangled

Bush Bean:

                 Pro - tastes great (equal to the pole bean)

                       - neat and tidy - won't get twisted with other plant rows

                 Con - you must bend down or get on your knees when harvesting

                        - takes up more ground space than the pole beans

Well there you have it - I guess I prefer the Pole Bean to the Bush Bean.

On the left side of the fence you will see my pole beans and on the right side of the fence are my pickling cucumbers
