Bush Beans and Bush Cucumbers

10 years ago

I have two plants of Bush beans and two plants of Bush Cucumbers in two separate containers. Now I know they recommend on plant per container but is there any harm to two per container?? I could move one of each to a separate container first time growing these types so looking for info

You can certainly grow more than one per container. It just depends on how big the container is which will determine how many you can grow.
