Gardener's Notes: Beans need warm weather and fertile, well-drained soil. Plant in late spring after night temperatures reach 55 F (13 C). Form a tripod with three 6-8 feet poles. Sow 4-6 seeds around each pole. Thin to 3 or 4 seedlings per pole. To plant in rows, space seeds every 4-6 inches and use tall supports. Harvest pods when about 8 inches long, before seeds inside begin to swell. Pick often to keep plants producctive.
