Re: Purple beans

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

And you thought you'd seen the last of this subject....
My purple bean plants have never gotten very large -- less than a foot tall 
even now.  Each one produced 6-8 beans.  I'm thinking this is probably 
attributable to operator error -- they're not square footed, the soil 
probably isn't amended enough, etc etc... heck, it was my first time.  
Anyway, I'm considering giving up on them and putting a 4x4 box in that spot 
for winter crops.  My extension guy says I can plant corn now -- southern 
california -- and that purple beans are on the northern side of my plot, just 
where I'd have put tall crops in the beginning if I'd thought about it 
instead of going hog wild.
I hate to pull up something that looks healthy, albeit beanless.  Any 
thoughts?  Transplant them to one of my boxes now full of gorgeous soil?  Or 
just bite the bullet and summarily execute them?
Cyn
