newb question on pole beans

cleo88 · July 29, 2011

Hi,
I'm a tomato gardener who happens to be growing some Kentucky Wonder pole beans sort of by accident. My friend wanted me to germinate some for her and too many ended up germinating... andIi can't euthanize anything...

My bean plants have pretty little flower - yellow? white? they seem to change color - that look sort of like snapdragons. I assume these will turn into beans? Are they self pollenating like tomatoes or should I get in their with a paintbrush like with my cucumbers? And does anyone know when I might be picking some beans?

I don't know beans about beans
