Has anyone had success at growing bush beans in limited space such as a hugh flower pot?

I have a private patio in an apartment, facing the Southwest location so there's a lot of sun. I've worked with Tomatoes and Banana Peppers and I've had great success. Now I want to try Grean Beans. I'm in the midwest and I plan on giving this a try after the danger of frost has past in late April or early May.

Many people have grown beans successfully in containers.





Below are some links with more information:
Reply:you might have to water 3Xs/day. Look for a variety that says something like compact habitat.


I tried the pole beans in a container with no luck.they sprouted and grew about 2 feet and died. Don't let your containers get too hot


Also beans need to be pollinated
Reply:If you have a way to provide heighth to the container, try pole beans. You'll get enought to enjoy. Bush beans won't give you very many.
Reply:you might grow a healthy and good looking plant, but you would only get 4 or 5 beans off each plant or less, also you only get a few pickings before they quit producing--- count up how many plants you would have to have to get a mess for supper, and see if it is worth the effort
