- Soil requirements: Green beans prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.8. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Green beans require full sun, which means they need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Green beans need consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development. Water them deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
- Planting season: The best time to plant green bean seeds is in the spring after the last frost date, when the soil temperature is at least 60°F (15°C). They can also be planted in early summer.
- Depth and spacing: Plant green bean seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 2 to 4 inches apart. Rows should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Green bean seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days after planting, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
- Maturity time: Green beans usually reach maturity and are ready for harvest within 50 to 60 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest green beans is in the early morning when the pods are firm and crisp. This helps to retain their moisture and flavor.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the pods from the plant to avoid damaging the vines. Harvest beans regularly to encourage continuous production. Store harvested beans in a cool, dry place or refrigerate them to maintain freshness.
