Growing butter beans in your own garden is relatively simple. As with any other vegetable, begin by providing good, rich soil which has had proper fertilizer or has been adequately fertilized. Then plant the seeds just about 1 inch (2.5cm.) high and over six to ten inches (15-20 cm.) wide. Cover and water the new mixture well. Within a few weeks, you’ll have a colorful family member ready to harvest.

To ensure success growing butter beans, plan ahead. You should make sure that your selected pole variety of beans is at the correct stage for your area. One variety of pole bean needs to be planted to the north and one variety needs to be planted to the south. Pole beans are a late bloomer, so they grow quickly, but be careful not to over-seed them as this will stunt their growth. So keep an eye on how much seed you plant each growing season.

The location of the bean plant also has a significant impact on how quickly and large you will harvest. It’s best if the bean plant is in full sun and receives plenty of moisture. If your area is cold, then grow your pole variety in a shade and moisture rich soil such as peat moss. Also, if your area has many rocks or overhanging limbs from the trees in which your pole variety grows then place the bean plant on these extra support roots to ensure proper harvest.

Proper timing is also vital in growing butter beans. Plant them approximately three weeks apart so that both varieties develop at the same time. Keep the beans’ roots well watered throughout the growing season. Although the beans may begin to germinate and grow in the fall months, it takes about five to six weeks of warm temperatures for them to begin producing berries.

During the growing season, the pole variety is best planted in the early spring. The first crop is large and has a sweeter taste than the second crop. Be sure to pick over the first crop and remove any fallen pods before harvesting the second crop.

Before starting to plant seedlings in rows, the area must be prepared by breaking up large pieces of hardy weed free soil. You can purchase this at a nursery or a hardware store. Once the soil is broken up, add the bean planting soil mix and pog or mix well with the soil. It is best to plant seeds in a shallow circle about a foot below the surface of the ground to start growing butter beans.

The third phase involves preparing the pole variety for planting. Prepare the pups by digging a hole about two to three inches deep where they will be sitting. Add soil and compost to the hole. Place the pups into the hole and allow them to sit about two to three weeks. The third phase of growing butter beans begins as the bean begins to grow and fill in around the pups.

Growing butter beans is an enjoyable experience. The best time to garden them is in the spring. If you live in the southern part of the united states, enjoy early mornings as the sun is rising. In addition to fresh butter, the garden can offer nuts, fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and many other foods that are good for you. You can find seeds for growing butter beans at many online stores.

When growing pole beans, you can place a variety of beans on the pole. You can place pole beans on top of the pole or you can grow them in the soil. They can be planted in a variety of ways. You can plant them in holes in the ground or plant them in a pot on the ground. The type of container you choose is up to you but try to have plenty of drainage so the beans do not sit on water.

You can enjoy harvesting the pod at any point during the season. You can harvest pole or pod beans. Harvesting the pod does take some effort because the pod swells quickly and it can be difficult to extract the beans with just a spade. It is best to use a pickling fork or a large knife to pull the bean from the pod.

After the first harvest, you should check the weather so that the soil is slightly acidic. If the soil is slightly acidic then it will be more difficult to keep the butter beans from spoiling. The last thing you want to do is to try and save seeds because they will not germinate if the soil is too acidic. Once the last frost has occurred, the soil should be slightly acidic again. The rest of the growing season should be easy with minimal care from you.
