I'll pass on what little I've learned about home gardens. In a small spot only plant determinate plants, as the indeterminate plant will grow out of any cages you put around them, they will grow over a 4 ft. cage and fall over. This pertains to tomatoes. In a few weeks I'll post a photo about this at above link. Beans you have no control over unless you plant bush type. Most places you buy plants aren't marked as being determinate or not. Bonnie plants sucks about this. I planted some winter squash, butternut, one year they tried to take the whole garden and yard. Couldn't give them away as the rednecks around here don't grow them.
