Hi Del! I am native of MS and usually grow the speckled
butterbeans but chose not to this year because of the intensive labor in
harvesting. Also, the pole variety needs to be staked and with all our tomato
plants, we just didn't have the time this year to spare the extra time it takes
for the beans. Perhaps you could mail me some of yours. :)
We space ours about 10 inches apart, which will give you good
air circulation and keep down viruses. Not sure about your growing area,
but in MS everything is very susceptible when placed too close together. We had
a great crop last year and they made beans forever, it
seemed.
We used the Jackson Wonder (bush) and I can't seem to remember
the name of the pole beans we plant. We get them from the local seed store
and I usually take what they give us. They know we are growing for market
so they usually give us the best product they have. Hope this helps a little. If
I can find the name of the pole butter bean, I'll pass it on.
