Hi I am new too gardening this year. I am mostly a container gardener since I live in a townhome community. I am also fortunate enough to have an end unit and own the flower beds surrounding my unit, so I am able to plant some vegetable there. I have planted lettuce, radish, parsley, squash (zucchini), a couple varieties of tomatoes, and green beans. My question is: I planted the seeds for the beans then threw the seed bag away. I was in a hurry to get the beans in the ground and forgot to write down what variety they are. My problem is that I don't know how to tell if they are bush variety beans or ones that grow on a vine. Is there any way to tell the difference. The bean plants vary from about 6"-9" high and I just planted them a week ago. I just want to know what type of beans they are so I know whether I need to form a trellis or put stakes in with them to grow on. Thanks for the help!
