Growing Stringless Green Pod Bush Beans in the Vegetable Garden
Begin by direct sowing the seeds in the garden after the last frost date when the soil has warmed to at least 60 F. Prior to planting, incorporate compost or a balanced organic fertilizer into the soil. Plant the seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart within rows that are spaced 18–24 inches apart. Ensure the planting site receives full sunlight and has well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can promote disease. Fertilization is optional but may improve yields. Follow the instructions on the label. A low-nitrogen blend applied 3-4 times throughout the season is typical. Regularly remove weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
While a trellis is unnecessary, a support of some kind can keep the pods off the ground and make harvesting easier. Companion plant with short marigolds like Bolero as well as herbs like cilantro and bunching onions for improved pest resistance.
Harvesting Stringless Green Pod Bush Beans
The Stringless Green Pod Bush Bean is a snap variety, meaning it is harvested when the pods are young and tender before the seeds inside fully develop. Harvesting can typically begin about 50 days after planting. Pods are ready when they are about 5 inches long, firm, and crisp. To harvest, gently grasp the pod and pull, or use scissors to avoid damaging the plant. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more pods.
