Growing beans and peas together

Sounds like a plan. It will look a bit scruffy because the peas will die off long before the beans have finished fruiting

Good point that the differing seasons could be an issue - what if your beans don't grow fast enough? I've sown my peas already and will be putting them in the ground next week, but I won't be sowing my beans until later this month. If you get the timing wrong, the peas might even smother the growing beans.

Since I don't have a lot of space I'd rather keep them separate and be able to plant something new after the peas have finished, but it would certainly be an interesting experiment!
