Green Bean
Snap Bean, String Bean, Bush Bean, Pole Bean, Runner Bean
Direct sow after last frost — beans resent transplanting. Bush types produce all at once (good for preserving); pole types produce continuously for 6–8 weeks. Fix nitrogen in soil — don't overfertilize. Harvest when pods are firm but before seeds bulge. Avoid working around plants when wet.
