Growing note
Bush varieties are the better container fit than climbing types, staying compact enough for an 8-10 inch pot without needing a trellis. Ready to harvest in about 7-8 weeks from sowing, and picking pods regularly while they're young and tender keeps the plant producing longer instead of running to seed.
