Beans

Beans are one of the easiest and most productive vegetables you can grow. Whether you choose bush or pole varieties, beans are perfect for beginners and children. They enrich the soil with nitrogen and produce a generous harvest of crisp, tender pods all summer.

Beans

Well-draining, fertile soil. pH 6.0–7.0.

2–4 inches apart for bush, 4–6 inches for pole in rows 18–36 inches apart.

Consistent watering, 1 inch per week. Critical during flowering and pod set.
