It doesn’t take many vines to keep you in fresh garden 
beans the year round. Many varieties of bush beans mature 
as snap beans in six to eight weeks so succession sowings 
may well be made at two-week intervals until only enough 
time is left between the sowing date and the probable first 
local frost for the pods to reach edible size. You’ll surely 
be ahead of the high cost of living if you include a few 
plantings of either bush or pole beans in your garden this
