I have a question regarding pole beans. I live in NJ and if you are not familiar with the weather we have been having just think snow. Anyway, I have noticed that there are still some dried pole bean pods up on my trellis. Do you think I could still use them?

Yes you can use them as dried beans like you get in gro store. Soak them over night. Cook till done, good luck.
Or, you could save them until the weather is warm and plant them.
I am guessing the "poster" is the one who labeled this "Eating pole beans left on the vine over winter." If I was not clear I really wanted to know if the seeds were still good for planting. When dried they are all yellow or brown and dried like paper so I would not think they are edible other than using the seeds. I guess I will give it a try!
Using purchased 2x2 pieces of wood or left over wood scraps and twine you can make a simple pole bean trellis for your garden. This is a page about constructing a simple pole bean trellis.
Bush and pole beans refer to their growth habit, not specific varieties. Many bean cultivars are available in both bush and pole forms.This is a page about comparing bush beans and pole beans.
Green beans are a fun and easy crop to grow. Green beans grow well in many areas and often provide a great harvest. This is a page about growing green beans.
