Since I live in an apartment I grow vegetables indoors. I have been using terra-cota planters, but a friend says that she uses Fiberglass planters because they look much nicer. Is there any reason not use fiberglass planters as far a toxins getting into the plants? Thanks!

Pole Green Beans

I have pretty pole bean plants about 5 ft high but no beans yet. Is this normal? This is my first attempt at growing these beans. Some of the leaves have turned dark brown almost black on the ends, is this heat, too much water, not enough water. Can someone help? Thank you!
