>>>And how do beans pollinate, do I need a bee? or just a good shaking of the plant, what about peas?<<<

Peas and Beans are both self-pollinating as are tomatoes.

All though benefit (increase yield)from shaking/swabbing/insects/vibrators.

Thanks for the info, I knew tomatoes were, but could not remember hearing about beans and peas.

Sounds like the Yard long bean would do well in the house, I think they are a pretty plant and like the green beans well enough, different, but good.
