<< approx. how many plants of bush snap beans does one need to feed one
 person?  Seems to me it's a lot; that's why I've never tried them in
 my small space.  Too much shade here for many veggies!  But, I
 wouldn't trade the trees for a prairie!  :) >>

We have a family of four and I usually plant about two 1x1 squares and get 
plenty enough for us.  You can harvest the beans and then a week or so late 
pick another crop from the same plants.  I do this several times before the 
plants finally give out.  I also like to make "successive plantings" so that 
we always have fresh snap beans so I usually have at least 4 - 1x1 squares 
with snap beans most of the growing season.  I alternate between  Blue Lake, 
Kentucky Wonder Bush, Brittle Wax and the Burgundy (purple) Bush.
