Growing Information
Scientific name
Phaseolus vulgaris
Sowing
After your last frost, once soil holds at least 60°F (16°C), sow about 2" apart and 1" deep in rows 20–36" apart. Seed sprouts best at 70–90°F (21–32°C). No thinning needed.
Soil
Well-drained, pH above 6.0. A legume inoculant can raise yields.
Succession
Sow again every 2–3 weeks into midsummer for a steady supply.
Disease
Rotate on a three-year cycle, ideally with corn or grain. Clear or turn in bean residue in fall. Wider rows help leaves dry and reduce white mold.
Pests
Mexican bean beetles can be managed with pyrethrin or azadirachtin products.
Harvest
Pick regularly. Shell beans are ready when the beans are plump in the pod; for dry beans, wait until pods dry.
Storage
Fresh shell beans keep 7–10 days at 40°F (5°C) and 90% humidity.
Packet
100 seeds.
Seeds per lb.
About 800 on average.
