Climbing beans do, bush or dwarf types will probably need a bit of support, especially on exposed sites.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

Peas need support but tend not to grow up individual canes.  Use pea netting or string to surround them.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Other threads about this are around --- very slight chance they will cross pollinate but it doesn't affect the eating quality

If you save seed for the next year though, you may get some surprises, maybe not.
