Re: Bush Bean Yields

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

Mike, I plant at least 4 squares of bush beans (9 per sq) for two of us
to eat. I could probably use more. I like to freeze some to eat later in
the season. I'm thinking about planting pole beans so the harvest will
be longer. I'll do another planting of bush beans in July/August for a
fall harvest.
