Bush Bean/Pole Type Bean
About Bush Bean Cultivation:
The bean is a tender, warm season vegetable that ranks second to tomato in popularity in home gardens. Beans are sensitive to cold temperatures and frost. They should be planted after all danger of frost is past in the spring.If the soil has warmed before the average last-frost date, an early planting may be made a week to 10 days before this date. You can assure yourself a continuous supply of snap beans by planting every 2 to 4 weeks until early August.

About Pole Type Bean Cultivation
Plant beans in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Select varieties that are resistant to bean common mosaic virus and anthracnose.
Bean seeds do not germinate well in cold soil and the plants are killed by light frost. Do not plant beans before the soil temperature at the 4-inch depth is at least 60 F. Plant in intervals of 10 to 14 days to have a continuous supply.
Plant bush-type beans in rows spaced 2 to 3 feet apart with the seed spaced 2 to 4 inches apart in the row. They can also be planted in a 4-foot-wide bed with two rows that are 18 inches apart. All beans should be planted 1 inch deep. It is best to use treated seed to help prevent seed rot, especially when seeds are planted early when the soil is cool.
