Generally, pole beans should be ready to harvest from 50 – 60 days from the time the seedlings sprout, and bush beans should be ready in 50 – 55 days. The maturity time will depend greatly on what variety you are growing.

about eight to 10 days

Green beans are hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 2 to 11, notes North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension. Some of these bean types are the snap bean, string bean and bush beans. Bush bean varieties tend to grow fastest and can be harvested in as little as 48 days.

They can be grown at home in either pole or bush varieties. Black beans grow best with warm temperatures so their growing season is during the warm summer months. Black beans take between 90 and 140 days to yield a harvest. Black beans are a staple food of Mexican and Creole cuisine.

Have you ever wondered if you can grow beans from a packet of dried beans from the grocery store? The answer is yes, you can! We are showing you how to do this using a packet of Hurst’s HamBeens 15 Bean Soup. This cold winter weather calls for our 15-Bean and Turkey Slow Cooker Soup recipe.

Black beans come in both bush (determinate) and pole (indeterminate) varieties. Bush types tend to need a little more space between plants and are harvested all at once. Pole beans will need a stake or trellis for support but generally produce a greater yield.

Seeds from Fresh Beans Allowing fresh beans to mature on the vine is the first step in gathering seeds for replanting. This means letting the bean pod fill out completely before picking it. As the tiny beans inside the pod continue to grow, they will reach their mature size in one to two weeks.

How to Save Beans to Plant in Next Year’s Garden

1. Double-Check Your Plant. Be sure you’re growing a non-hybrid seed.
2. Allow the Pods to Mature Fully. Let the bean pods mature fully on the plant.
3. Collect the Bean Pods. Once the bean pods are fully dried, harvest them from the vine.
4. Dry the Pods Again.
5. Shell and Store the Seeds.

The main difference between the many types of green beans is whether their growing style is classified as “bush” or “pole.” Bush beans grow compactly (reaching about two-feet tall) and do not require extra support from a structure like a trellis. Pole beans grow as climbing vines that may reach 10 to 15 feet tall.

Bush beans – Plants are small, compact (in the two-feet range), and mature more quickly, some within 50 days – so you can start them from seed for much of the summer. They produce most of their crop at once, though the plants will keep producing if you keep them well-harvested.

A: Generally speaking, bush beans are one of the easier garden crops to grow. They don’t need staking, and as long as they receive adequate sunshine they usually produce an abundant harvest. The roots of beans are delicate and can be easily harmed in the transplanting process.

Long green pods have pink-and-black seeds and can be eaten snap, shell, or dried beans. Snap and most shell beans come in two forms: bush and poles. Bush beans are 1 to 2 feet tall and stand upright. Pole beans are tall, twining vines that require support.
