I put 4-5 beans spaced evenly apart. Within a few days the sprouts will pop up and then you will be amazed how fast they grow. Once I see where they have sprouted, I add my stakes which are about 7 feet tall to the pot. The beans find their own way to the stakes, which is really cool. Up they climb, blossom and bean. I do feed them every 2 weeks. They are so fun to grow! Regarding the beans in pots, I just fill 12″ or 14″ sized pots with soil. I put 4-5 beans spaced evenly apart.

Interesting to read that you grow pole beans in pots - how does that work? TopVeg Deb

I wonder if it has more of a certain nutrient. It looks great and very lively color too. I wonder if it has more of a certain nutrient.

Good veggie growing sites are hard to find. You surely have a nice one. Where are you located? Just curious as you are now harvesting brocolli. I do all of my veggie gardening in containers as I have a yard that is the size of a postage stamp and it is shady. So the pots hit the deck! I just harvested a few pole beans this morning and I have lots of goodies that I planted by seed that are now coming along nicely. I will swing by again soon! Hey Top Veg,
