pollen allergies both me no more in the garden than anywhere else - (Or maybe they bother me just as much out of the garden as in the garden?)
The exception is grass mowing. It not only stirs of respiratory stuff, but my skin breaks out in a rash and I start itching, so I always have to mow with long pants, long sleeves and a dust mask.
Maggie, you were asking about beans - I like Provider and Jade bush beans. My favorite french filet bean is Tavera.
