Bush beans with super long vines??? What to do?

[Lisoula]

I am growing three types of bush beans. BUT - they're growing more like a pole bean! Each plant ( I have 27 of them) have these loooong vines growing off the top of the bush that are intertwining with each other. Should I stake those vines, or just let them mingle together? Usually I just grow blue lakes, but this year I went with heirloom varities from some pretty reputable companies, and I don't know what the heck to do!

Mine are kinda doing this too. I figured they were just getting spindly because of the partial shade in my yard. I've left them alone so far but I am wondering if I should be doing something...

I would go ahead and stake them. But that's just me.

I'd just let them grow into each other... thats what we've always done

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm thinking about staking them, only because I have raised beds and the vines are falling over into the yard. I have never had this happen....

I find that staking them makes for an easier harvest.

Same thing happening here, some of the bush beans I planted decided they're actually pole beans. So I gave them a bamboo tripod to grow on.
