Beans are among the top favorite vegetables in a home garden. Whatever type of bean you choose to grow, rather it will be, shell beans, snap beans or a dry beans, you will have the same growing instructions.
Wherever you choose to plant the bean, make sure the area has full, It would not hurt if you have a way of finding out if the soil has an pH of about 5.5 to 7.5. Make sure the place you pick is well-fertilized. One of the best fertilizers should be 10-20-10. Before planting, ensure the area is aired well and the soil is loose, for good growing conditions.
Sow the seeds about one inch deep and 2-3 inches apart. If you are growing pole beans, you might want to place your supports, doing this will avoid piercing the roots of the growing bean latter on. After planting, be sure to water the bean.
Once the bean is about six inches tall, space them to about six inches apart, to ensure the plant gets plenty of air circulation. If you have dry weather, water the plants about once a week. If you see any sign of limp leaves after they bloom, water your plants! If you don't, the blooms will drop, and you will have a small harvest.
Be sure to keep the area plucked of weeds and trash, and keep the soil soft and fertilized, to ensure a good crop. When the pods are firm and hard, it is time to harvest.
