I just pick em when they’re at least 3 inches long. But usually they’re longer than that too. Obviously don’t pick them when they’re super skinny, but pick them when they look like they can be eaten. I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. I hope somebody else – a bean expert – will jump in with expertise.
Unlike a tomato, I found it challenging to tell. I was thinking of growing carrots this year but figured I’d have the same issue. I might give it a go next summer though.
I’d like to grow radishes too.
I also over estimated how big a bean plant is. Images online were misleading. I only planted 3.
They aren’t very big. Not big enough to need any trestles or anything. But have a decent amount of beans for their size. But barely enough for one person’s meal.
It’s possible they aren’t in the optimal location. Not sure. They get a lot of direct sun. And I water them every few days since it’s not been raining much here. (Illinois).
My tomato plants have gotten quite out of control. I have 4 and they grew so big I had to prune a lot the other day and I’m running out of room where they are.
Next year I’ll plant more beans. And only 2 tomato plants.
