pole beans

Question
hello I planted my pole beans june 1st today is july 15 my plants are 24 inch's tall and are producing beans I am a little confused thank you

Answer
Don, do you know the name of the variety you planted? The growth habit you have described fits that of a bush bean rather than a pole bean. Pole beans will normally not start blossoming until they reach 36" - 48". What you described is perfectly normal for bush beans.

Please let me know the name of the variety and I will be able to tell you for sure which you planted.

Regards,

Mike
