How many pole bean plants does it take to fill 12 qt. sized canning jars?

Question

Im trying to be practicle about how many bean plants to plant. I realize that a pole bean will continue to produce once the fruit is picked. I have no idea what the expected "yield" of a hopefully healthy pole bean plant is.

Answer 1

Harvest the pole beans frequently - if not daily - to keep the plants producing. The bean plants will stop producing if bean pods are allowed to reach maturity.

Beans are very prolific. About 25 pole bean plants can ( !!!! ) produce about 12 quarts of beans. ( reported: 100 > 50 qt )
