They can be cleaned of vines for xvinter storage simply by snipping the vines and twine at top and bottom. Erect tripods or frames before planting; sink the butts of poles about 6 in. deep. Plant 4 seeds at the base of each pole; at least half should sprout. If you plant seeds in a row, space them 4 in. apart. One tripod of runner beans per family member should suffice. Among the snap beans, you can choose green or wax podded varieties and "shelly beans" that are grown principally for eating just before the seeds begin to dry. Scarlet Runner' beans are both decorative and delicious. Pole limas come in baby lima, potato, and speckled varieties.

Plant seeds about 4 in. apart; about every other seed will sprout. You have all sorts of choices in bush lima varieties: small green seeds (baby hmas); large, fat green seeds (potato limas); and brown speckled seeds.
