When they get to the top of the supports, pinch them out to encourage them to bush out a bit lower down. Otherwise they'll carry on up to the sky and you'll end up being chased by a giant. Fee fie fo fum!
AS an 80 year old novice, I have never grown or eaten haricot beans. Can one eat them in the same way as runner beans ie eat the case and keep the seeds.
I hope not too many of you will fall about laughing at my question
As an 80 year old novice, can I grow runner beans and haricot beans planting them in May/June. Then harvest them in the same way, ie eat the haricot beans in the same way as runners. Also keep the seed in exactly the same way. I hope not too many of you fall about laughing at may seem a rather silly question, but I am serious.

This is my problem, too. The beans are growing fast, almost to the top of the canes. Should the tips be pinched out? Please do tell.
