I grow lots of beans each year, bush, pole and even limas, though it's difficult to get a good crop of limas in this cool climate.

The best bush bean for me last year was Indy Gold OP, purchased from West Coast seed. It is a very early stringless yellow bean that outproduces any other bush bean I've grown and the taste is superb.

Fortex and Rattlesnake were great pole beans and will be permanent in my garden.

The only problem I have with beans is that they get attacked by slugs. Next year I will use more slug bait and start the beans in cell packs rather than direct planting as I've done before.
