Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Jade bush beans grow best in full sun and well-drained soil, making them a relatively easy addition to your garden. Regular watering and occasional fertilization can enhance productivity, but over-fertilizing, especially with nitrogen, should be avoided to prevent excessive foliage growth at the expense of beans​.
When to Grow
Jade bush beans should be planted after the last frost date in your area. The ideal temperature is 70-80 F. These beans mature in about 55 days, allowing for multiple planting cycles throughout the growing season. For continuous harvest, plant new seeds every two to three weeks until mid-summer​. To determine specific planting dates, you may want to check your local frost dates and USDA hardiness zone recommendations.
How to Sow and Plant
To plant Jade bush beans, prepare the soil by adding compost or aged manure to improve fertility and drainage. Soak seeds overnight. Sow the seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart, with rows spaced about 18-24 inches apart. Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days.
How to Grow
Once the beans have sprouted, ensure they receive at least 2-3 inches of water per week, preferably through rain or a gentle watering system. While they generally don't require much fertilization if grown in rich soil, a balanced fertilizer can be applied sparingly. Keep the planting area free from weeds and mulch to conserve moisture and reduce weed competition​. Pick frequently to keep plants productive.
How to Save
- Common beans do not easily cross pollinate and can be grown close to one another, making them the ideal seed-saving project for beginners.
- Save seeds from the best-looking, best-tasting, and most vigorous beans.
- Leave pods on the plant to dry. Pull the plants and shake them vigorously into a bag to release the beans from the pods (same as you would for using them as dried beans).
- Store in a cool, dry place for the winter (a glass jar in the refrigerator works well!).
FAQ
Do Jade bush beans need support to grow?
No, Jade bush beans do not require support as they grow in a compact, bush-like form​.
What pests should I look out for?
Common pests include the Mexican bean beetle, aphids, and thrips. Regular inspection and garden hygiene can help manage these pests​.
How often should I plant new seeds for continuous harvest?
To ensure a steady supply of beans throughout the season, plant new seeds every two to three weeks until midsummer.
