RE: Picking the last of the green beans
Damn that’s a nice haul!
How many plants do you start with?
How many do you plant together?
Do you sow them in a line or transplant?

I plant the seeds directly into one of my raised beds instead of starting the plants and then transplanting to the bed.
I've tried different methods of planting bush type green beans over the years, and usually I planted them in a double row for more yield, but that makes them difficult to pick because the plants are so thick when you plant them close like that. This year, I planted a double row with the two rows about a foot apart, and staggered the seeds in a zig zag pattern with the seeds in each row about a foot apart and alternating the spacing between the two rows. It was a lot easier to pick them this year because the plants weren't so close together.
