I thought Potawatomi was going to be the yield king because the Potawatomi Indians were active in my region. But wet growing season held it back. Still a good looking bean pattern though.
Potawatomi like many others couldnt handle the bacteria diseases from the humid and wet weather in my opinion. Brown lesions on some seeds and many pods didnt fill or were moldy. Ow well. This is the reason im going to a taller option for the pole beans in your 1x2 furring strips idea I am excited about for the upcoming season.
Ah, where can I read about this ideer? I've been trying to figure out a set up for the pole beans I'll be growing this year. Thanks! If it is in last years posts, I'm only up to page 23.
Russ listed his 1x2 strip idea in the previous years thread, i cant remember what page but fairly far back. I have been using old Cattle panels im guessing are 4- 5 foot tall, but that just isnt enough for some of the pole beans it doesnt allow them to grow to their potential. I went and bought the 1x2 inch "strips" and i will try to stick them in deep enough they can handle the weight of 3-4 plants around each pole. Another person on here cut tall saplings and uses those ehich is a good idea. I may also ziptie a few 1x2 strips to the cattle panels I had them left over from 4- H a pig pens, also was nice to reuse them.
