Green Beans - Judias Verdes

An easy and rewarding crop to grow, the seed germinating easily. The plants will need a little support once they reach a height of 20cm or so. This doesn't involve a can for each plant but an A frame arrangement supporting horizontal canes every 20cm, added as the plants gain height, should be sufficient.
The beans should be picked and used as they are produced as they are certainly best when young.
