I'm not helpful as far as beans go, but they sure will tear up some turnips when the real cold gets there. The first few frosts, they were still just hitting the rapeseed, but once the snow and ice came, they were pawing and digging for the pt turnips. Only bad part is they started hitting it hard in the last two weeks of late archery and are still hitting it now. I'm gonna plant them again, but try ww and oats I think this year. My cousin had deer in his ww and oats from october to the new year, one county down from me.
