I also like to plant both green and yellow beans. We like the thin French filet beans so I plant 1/2 of a row of Haricots Vert and 1/2 of a row of Roquencourt which is a yellow french filet bean and it does not taste like a "wax" bean to me.

I only plant a row about 3" long because we only use it for fresh eating. We do not like either canned or frozen beans so this is plenty for the 2 of us. After about 3 weeks I plant another 3' row. I don't plant any for late season because the Mexican Bean Beetles arrive and they LOVE my beans and we have plenty of other vegetables to eat by then.
