Pole Bean Planting Information:

Pole beans are great for small gardens where you have limited space. Pole beans have higher yields than bush beans but require some support. They come in several colors, including green, purple, and yellow pods. Plant your pole beans in early summer when the danger of frost is over. Plant seeds outdoors directly in the garden. Pole beans require richer soil than other types of beans. Plant in 2 to 3 week intervals for a steady harvest until about 3 months before the first killing frost in the fall. Plants can grow 3 to 10" tall.

Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!

Soil Requirements:

Requires rich, fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Beans do not like soil that is too moist. Water during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when planting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro.

Harvest Tips:

Pinch or cut the pods off carefully to avoid damaging the plant. Pick every few days for tender beans. Frequent harvesting also encourages plants to produce more pods.

BCMV – Bean Common Mosaic Virus

Type: Virus - Potyvirus

Bean Common Mosaic Virus is a disease that affects the growth of beans, cowpeas, peanuts, peas, and soybeans. This disease is found worldwide and lowers yield and quality by as much as 80%. Symptoms include mosaic, green vein banding, leaf curling, secondary leaf malformation, and plant stunting. The leaves are usually accompanied by blistering, distortion, and a downward curling and rolling. The virus can cause substantial crop loss. The virus is transmitted both by seeds and aphids. BCMV can be eradicated by planting only resistant varieties.
