HOW TO GROW BEAN
Direct sow after last frost when soil tempt is about 70˚F. Beans are sensitive to cool soil and will rot if soil temps are below 55˚F. Sow bush snap beans every 2-3 weeks until mid summer for a continued harvest. Sow pole beans from late spring to very early summer. Sow pole beans 3 seeds per hole, 8” between hole and trellis rows 4’ spacing. Thin to 6-8” apart. Beans are susceptible to numerous diseases, avoid wetting foliage, remove plants at the end of the year, practice 4 year crop rotation. Save each year’s seeds in separate containers. Crossing is not apparent until the next generations. Soil pH 6-6.8. Hardiness zones 5-13. Annual.
