Green beans are a staple every year for us here at The Itty Bitty Garden homestead. Green beans can be enjoyed fresh picked from the garden or cooked many different ways. They are a good source of fiber, protein and essential vitamins, plus they taste great. Beans are an easy and dependable crop to grow. These plants are also nitrogen fixers, which means they form a symbiotic relationship with a type of soil bacteria to pull nitrogen from the air to use and store. Then it is released back into the soil when the plants life cycle is done, making it available for other plants to use. Growing beans in the vegetable garden is a no brainer for us, if you haven't already, try growing beans in the vegetable garden.
Direct sow beans after last frost but 60 degree soil temperatures and up is even better. During the first two weeks of germination make sure that the soil stays moist and you can use a small amount of balanced organic fertilizer during this period.
