Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Purple Podded pole beans thrive in warm weather. Plant after the last frost when soil temperatures are above 60 F. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Beans are heavy feeders; enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure.
When to Grow
Plant Purple Podded pole beans in late spring to early summer, after the danger of frost has passed. The optimal growing season is when night temperatures are consistently above 50 F. The ideal temperature is 70-80 F. Purple podded beans grow to maturity in about 70 days.
How to Sow and Plant
Soak seeds overnight and direct seed. Sow seeds 1/2 to 1 inch deep in rows 24-36 inches apart. Sprouts typically appear in 5-8 days. Space the plants 6-10 inches apart. Provide a trellis or support as these are climbing beans. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
How to Grow
Maintain consistent moisture, especially during flowering and pod development. Mulch to retain soil moisture and control weeds. Beans can benefit from side-dressing with compost during the growing season. Regularly harvest beans to encourage continued production.
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!).
