 +===== General comments =====  
 +=== Ecology === 
 +  * Grow climbers on a purpose built trellis, or up woody plants such as pigeon peas.  
 +  * Keep well watered during hot periods 
 +  * Bean fly can be a nuisance and result in crop failures depending on infestation levels. 
 + 
 +=== Uses === 
 +Nitrogen fixation  
 + 
 +=== Food ===

 +=== Inoculant === 
 + 
 +=== Cultivar - Purple Climber === 
 +  * Climbing bean 
 +  * Hardy 
 +  * Can grow all year round, but easiest yields per the //Planting Months// table. Only in the shade and with protection from other plants (bean fly will damage the plant) outside this range. 
 +  * Not stringy, but like all beans better picked when younger 
 +  * Seed collection and drying for replanting is easily done

 +=== Seed Saving Tips === 
 +Grow extra plants dedicated to seed saving. Best done during drier months to avoid mold infecting and poisoning the seeds. Allow to dry on the vine, and pick dry pods as they mature, save in paper packet.
