How do Pole beans produce?

Purple Peacock Pole beans produced like crazy and we couldn't keep up with them! I think 6 plants would have been more than enough for us. Since hubby erected a structure for the indeterminate tomatoes, I decided to grow the pole beans in between the tomatoes so that they could share the posts. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I will include a couple. I grew two rows of tomatoes, and tucked in two bean plants on each upright (sown directly into the soil). I strung the tomatoes up, greenhouse style and added some extra strings for the beans which then proceeded along the horizontals.
