Frequently asked questions
When do you sow bush beans?
Directly into the bed direct sow late may-june, after the soil has warmed — there is no indoor phase for bush beans.
When are bush beans ready to harvest?
August-September, in a typical year for this climate.
Do the bush beans dates change with the weather?
Yes — the window follows the frost dates of your plot. A coastal garden runs a week or two earlier; an inland frost pocket later. The published windows are the reference, your soil thermometer is the truth.
