| We actually found pole beans in plant form, not seeds!! They are starting to get the little feelers out looking for a trellis or something to latch onto. We had two (for three plants) wooden smaller, but taller trellis's, but they were old & fell apart. Would the taller wooden trellis's be our best bet for the 3 pole beans? Thanks!! |

| They can climb up some string if you have someplace to attach the top of the string to. Did you put them in a bigger pot ? Good luck with your beans. :) |

| Plaidbird, No, I really don't have anywhere to attach string to. These are actually in a garden plot. Maybe some kind of wooden trellis? My mom thought that we could put a tomato cage behind them--but there is only about 5 inches behind them where our brick garage starts--so a cage would not fit. |

| I'm getting a better picture now. Sure a trellis will work. In fact, for three beans, you could probably make a little trellis with things you find around. I've done trellises out of what ever was closest sometimes. Twigs go together with twine, just be sure to use at least one tall, sturdy stick as the main support. I had a neighbor that plants two or three red runner beans and lets them run up a long piece of bamboo. I miss seeing it now that she's moved. Used to be there every year. If you have the name of the type of bean, goggle it to see how tall it gets then you can plan ahead. The ones I have this year say eight feet. |
