I like Maxibel.  Good eating and the growth habit is easy to work with.  I've found it to be pretty productive too.

That's an idea: grow the first round of early bush bean (ie, Provider)
under fleece for added earliness, and then plant pole beans on plastic
for a main season crop when the condition are good.  I like your idea of
harvesting by pulling the plant.  I think this might work better with
varieties that mature all at once, though.

Which bush bean do you plant early in the season?  I tried Provider
here, it works, but I think it does not have the best eating quality.
Would love to find another early, cool soil bush bean that delivers.
