Snap Beans

Bush or snap beans are a popular plant for Florida which are easy to grow even in poor soil. As the name implies, bush beans grow on a bush that is able to stand unsupported, unlike pole beans. Bush beans can be either snap beans (formerly called string beans because of their fibrous pods) or shell beans.
