Trying to plant Mini garden on 2 floor porch of an apartment with the kids, we have a variety of herbs and lettuce/tomatoes growing. Some Peas with a twine trellis. What pairs well with “String Beans”?
As long as you have, at least, an 8 gallon container, then you can companion plant with beans rather easily. Just be mindful of what you plant, and stick to those that are suitable to plant with beans.

I picked some green beans yesterday morning. I laid them on the grass in the shade while I finished working in the garden. I put them in a box, brought inside and after showering I put a towel on the shower floor and layer of newspaper. I spread them out so they'd stay cooler. When I got home from work and went to work them up,some had brown rusty color spots. (Mind you they were all green when I picked them) What would cause this? Also are all varieties of green beans round..because I have some flatter beans..may be bird egg! I have them beside my green beans..must of some got mixed at the seed/feed store!! Lol
Beans do not keep very long after picking. You must wash and prepare them for cooking immediately, or store them very cool, such as a refrigerator and in a bag to preserve moisture. They were likely infected with rust fungus before they were picked, and the conditions in the bathroom were perfect for the mold to set in and propagate. If you need to store them for longer, then you will need to vacuum seal them and freeze them. Better yet, cook them and freeze them.
As far as bean shapes... There are round and flat varieties.
I planted dwarf beans in June and a lot of flowers have appeared but no beans. When would the beans normally appear?
Dwarf beans generally grow quickly. This article should help:

I've read both ways. Which do you think is best.

The hypocotyl is sturdy and growing well. What am I doing wrong? Please advise. John
Possible micro nutrient/trace mineral deficiency or a soil borne disease. A soil test might be in order to determine any deficiency. Your local cooperative extension center can help with that.

What’s this green plant? How to plant it or maintain it? Do I need to change a pot to a bigger one or plant it in the garden? Thanks.
That appears to be a bean of some sort, though it is still quite young. Most beans can be planted when the soil temperatures stay around 65 degrees or higher. If it is below that in your area, at night, then I would not plant yet.
Another thing to consider is that beans will not like to be moved, or transplanted. It is important to start them where you intend to finish them. You can still transplant, if you are very careful not to disturb anything, but you should expect some transplant shock.

I am doing a science experiment with my K students using mung beans. The goal is to grow mung bean plant. It is to my understanding, that a Mung Bean will grow a mung plant, which will eventually give mung bean pods. Other teachers think that mung seeds are different from the mung bean, and that the mung bean won't grow into a plant, that only a mung seed will get the plant to grow. IS there a difference between a mung bean and a mung seed? Isn't the bean, the seed?
The beans are the reproductive seeds, and therefore will grow. They need to be dried first, however.
