Beans are not only good for you but they also taste good and are easy to grow. You can grow bush snap beans, which are small, self-supporting plants that bear quickly; or pole snap beans, which are tall, vigorous, productive vines. Beans are delicious when eaten fresh, frozen or canned.
Sowing: Select a sunny location and plant when all danger of frost is past and the soil has warmed. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed and keep moist. Plant bush types every 3 weeks.
Care: Support pole beans with stout pole, trellis, string or wire. Water by soaking soil, to reduce danger of disease.
Harvest: Pick regularly when pods are 4-6" (10-15cm), before sides bulge.
