Re: Bush beans - when do you take them out?

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I didn't mean that haricot vertes take up less space.  I said that I was
going to grow pole bean haricot verte type of bean rather than the bush
bean haricot verte from Renee's Garden Seeds that I'm growing this year
because they (the pole beans) take up less space.

So does anyone know when do you take the bush beans out?  We have a very
long season here, so I just need to know generally how long they'll
produce for or should I yank them out.  Hate to waste the space if it's
not going to produce anymore beans.

Thanks., Kim, zone 9b, so cal
