This is my 3rd year growing pole beans (Kentucky & Blue Lake varietals). I didn't add anything extra for them to climb because I thought I built my teepee tall enough. However, the runners are climbing just into the sky and wrapping around one another. I've harvested a couple nice crops already from them, and they are healthy and happy... but should I pinch the tips of the runners so that new sprouts will be the focus of the plant down below?
