In the past, I have planted bush varieties of
speckled butterbeans...seems like they got pretty tall and lanky for a bush bean
so I am wondering just how tall these pole beans will get. For what it is
worth, I interplanted bush beans with the tomatoes last year. the seeds
were planted at the base of the stakes. I used a weaving technique last
year with tomatoes every 2' and stakes every 4'.
There are butterbeans sprouting up all over that
area right now. so tempting to just let them go.
The seeds I received this year (from Summit,
Mississippi) came in brown paper bags labeled pole or bush...no
directions.
If you have seed sources or variety names to
recommend, I would welcome your information.
I'm really in the dark about this and started
selling them at the farmers' market because customers requested
them.
As declicious as they are, you're right, a lot of
work, picking, shelling, etc...
