first year growing beans in the back yard garden, so i have a few questions on how these grow and the best way to support or care for em...im growing in raised beds.... i have about a 9 foot high fence that runs accross my backyard, ....along the fence in the center im running chicken wire from the ground to the top of the fence and growing my Brandywine Tomatoes up that...now the plan was to put several stakes on both sides of the tomato beds that go from the ground to the top of the fence at sort of an angle, and thats what i plan on growing my Florida Speckled Pole Limas on ....now directly in front of the pole bean vines running up the fence i was thinking of planting some 'TopCrop' Bush beans....will the two plants fight each other for nutrients really bad? if so i can just put a small raised bed in front of the pole limas for the bush beans, but if i can just plant them right in front of the Pole Beans that would be great for space, but i definately dont want the roots to crowd each other out....now whats the best way to support the Bush Beans once they come up? or do they even need supporting at all? any advice on all this is greatly appreciated.....Cant Wait Till Spring!!!!
