Pole Beans

Beans are finally in the ground.  They were waiting until the trellis was up and then I just needed it to stop raining.  I ended up planting 2 varieties, Northeastern pole beans and then a variety I picked up from a friend.  They grow them every year and quite possibly brought them over from Italy when they came.  They call them Italian flat beans.  They grow to approximately 8” long and about a 1” wide. The seeds are completely black with a small white dot on the bottom.  The first half is planted with Northeastern and the back half with the Italian.  There are roughly 30 seeds of each.  I planted 3 seeds per pole and the poles are about 8” apart.
