Growing green beans
Does anybody know anything about growing green beans? We've always
raised green beans every year but this year it's been so hot. They're blooming but the blossoms aren't setting. People have said that if it's too hot the blossoms won't set. It's finally cooled off. Will we finally start getting beans or are the plants locked into a specific growth cycle where if they're past a certain point they won't produce anything. They're an old fashion pole bean variety and the vines are very healthy. There's just no beans on them. I don't know the exact variety. The seeds came from my uncle. They're the seeds he saved from the previous year's crop, and those came from the crop before that. They are the best green beans I've ever tasted. So far we've found a total of 10 beans from 40 plants. |

Look after them for a while longer there is a good chance they will have more beans unless you have a short growing season and it now gets too cold! David Thanks. According to all the maps, we live in zone 6. Usually the first frost doesn't occur until around the early part of October. I hope they start producing soon. The vines are covered with blossoms right now. |

Growing green beans
We've got beans now. I kept them watered and now that it's turned
cooler they're starting to produce like crazy. My aunt, who also got some of the same seeds, pulled all her vines up early in the summer because they were dried up. Perhaps if she had kept them watered like I did and be patient she would have had beans now too. By the way, the variety of bean is called Barnes Mountain Bean. |
