Tomatoes and pole beans lifespan

[Sebastian Ang]

If I plant indeterminate tomatoes and pole beans, what are their lifespans assuming nothing bad will happen to them (Ex: Disease, pests etc.)and there is no frost because we live in a tropical country.

I'm guessing not much more than a year/two growing seasons.

Tomatoes have lived up to 4 years in PERFECT CONDITIONS. I believe the record for pole beans is almost 3 years. If an average person gets 2 years he/she should go buy a lotto ticket. In tropical areas mold or mildew will be a major factor. The older the plant gets the more likely to acquire some fatal malady.

When seeds can be saved from both, and they produce them abundantly, why bother?
