Growing Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans in the Vegetable Garden
Planting begins once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed sufficiently. Seeds should be sown directly into well-drained, fertile soil at a depth of one inch. They should be spaced about four inches apart along a trellis or eight to ten inches apart if using individual stakes. If opting for tripods, plant four to six seeds near each pole, thinning to the three strongest plants. Installing support structures at the time of planting is crucial to prevent damage to the young vines as they grow. These beans thrive in sunny locations with rich, well-amended soil. Compost or a balanced fertilizer should be incorporated into the soil prior to planting to provide essential nutrients.
Consistent watering is vital to ensure healthy growth. The soil should remain evenly moist but never waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plants can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilizer applications should continue during the growing season, using compost or a balanced fertilizer as a side dressing to promote vigorous vines and pod production. Yard-long beans benefit from companion planting with crops like spinach or arugula, which can help improve overall garden productivity. These fast-growing beans require regular maintenance to guide their vines along supports and ensure proper spacing.
Harvesting Yu Long Noodle Kin Yard Long Beans
Harvest when pods are smooth, tender, pencil-thin, and 12-30 inches long. Waiting too long to harvest can produce tougher beans as the seeds mature. Pods should be harvested with scissors or a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. Regular harvesting stimulates continued pod production throughout the growing season. This bean is meant to be eaten fresh as a snap variety, with the entire pod being tender and edible.

| Bean Sub-Type: | Asian - Asian beans encompass a wide spectrum of bean varieties, either originating from Asia or being especially popular in Asian cultures. Specialty - There are many subcategories of beans, and in the interest of simplifying what would be an overwhelming number of bean varieties, we group them as 'specialty'. These include but are not limited to yardlong beans, winged beans, hyacinth beans, sword beans, asparagus beans, adzuki, mung, garbanzo, and others. |

| Days to Germination: | 5-10 |
| Seeding Depth: | 1 inch |
| Plant Spacing: | 4-6 inches |
| Row Spacing: | 24 inches |
| Plant Height: | 60-108 inches |
| Growth Habit: | Vining |
| Soil Preference: | Beans prefer well-draining, nutrient-rich, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. As light feeders and nitrogen-fixing legumes, beans do not require nitrogen-heavy fertilizers. |
| Temperature Preference: | Warmer (70-85 F). |
| Light Preference: | Full Sun |
Other
| Direct Sow: | Yes, direct sow when soil temperatures are reliably above 60 F. Planting with an inoculant may increase yields, but is certainly not required for a successful grow. |
| Start Indoors: | Not Recommended. Beans grow best without any root disturbance. We recommend direct sowing instead of transplanting. |
| Bean Pollination: | Beans are self-pollinating as they contain both the male and female parts within their flowers, unlike other fruit and vegetable plants. While they are self-pollinating, having a variety of pollinators and flowers around will improve yields by ensuring the greatest chances for pollinating events to occur. |
| Snap or Shell Bean: | Snap - Snap beans have a fleshy edible pod. Snap beans are also commonly referred to as string beans or green beans (though not all snap beans are green). They are called snap beans because they make a snapping sound when you break them in half. |
| Pole or Bush Bean: | Pole - Pole beans are vining-type plants that put out runners that grow very long or tall. Pole beans are so-called because they require a trellis, support, or wait for it… a pole. Pole beans require more effort than bush beans but may also be grown in containers with the right support. |
| Plant Width: | 12-18 inches |
| Growth Speed: | Mid - Ready for harvest around 66-86 days. |
| Deer Resistant: | No |
| Germination Temperature: | 70-90 F |
| Pests and Diseases: | Beans are susceptible to beetles, aphids, spider mites, and cutworms. Look for signs of chewing, curling leaves, eggs on the undersides of leaves, and leaf discoloration. Keeping your bean plants clean from dust build-up and surrounded by a variety of plants to help deter and prevent pest damage. Beans are also susceptible to powdery mildew, bean blight, rust, and root rot. Maintain a regular watering schedule that avoids overly saturated soil. The roots need adequate time to air out between watering. This will also help prevent common fungal and bacterial diseases from developing. Good air circulation and applying water to the ground rather than the leaves will help maintain healthy bean plant growth. |
