I didn't start mine inside but I'm so glad I planted some fall beans at all!! My pole beans were destroyed by Japanese beetles and I got so fed up I just pulled them all out. The leaves looked like lace, they were so eaten up. Four applications of Sevin and two beetles traps never touched them. They left when I pulled those plants out.
Almost as an afterthought, I planted some Romano 14 seed and I've had four or five pickings of the most tender beans, not a string in them. They've been so good. I've had more beans in September than June, July and August combined! I planted Maxibel two weeks after that and they are now blooming. Can't wait!
