I'm podding some for supper at the moment. Mine don't get any taller than yours. I pinch them out when the blackfly arrive. I did them last week and all the blackfly have gone.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

The pinching out seems to have worked, there are only the odd black fly on my broad beans now and the pods are coming through nicely.
But the black fly have moved onto my cucumbers and runner beans. Still trying to avoid pesticides so doing lots of squishing!
