Well I can not move my green beans so I have to chance they will do fine in this pot The weather is so bad here I am losing all the good gardening spots BUT look at my green beans they are pretty now. I took the advice from you all and I stuck shims under the bucket and the draning seems to work. I have green leaves I had nasty ones before and it just like bloomed out all over. The kids say it looks like alien plant now but it is nice. Any more advice please.
Here is before the trellis

Those look like bush beans.
There are no runners shooting up. At that size, if they were pole beans, little runners would be shooting up to catch something to climb on.
So the small tomato cages possible will be in the way when it is time to pick.
I've not grown beans in containers for many years. So long I have little memory of it. But, thay are one of my favorite plants.
I plant my beans 2 to 3 times closer than suggested. 2 reasons; 1) they crowd out weeds, 2) I believe I get more overall production. This will cause some plants to give little production. But again, I believe I get more overall production. Since yours look healthy, I wouldn't worry too much about crowding.
