We already have the "poles" up, so if you're suggesting a switch to  
save labor, that's not a factor.  Is there another reason to suggest  
bush beans with peas instead of pole beans with peas?

I'm new to this time- and height-staggered planting, so help me out.   
I'm used to planting way too much of everything on an acre or so.  We  
only have a front yard, so I'm trying to phase things in time and in  
height.

Thanks,
Michael
