Enjoy a short video on how to grow and harvest delicious, organic flat beans and pole beans in your garden. Pole beans are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. They are fast-growing, mostly disease-free.

Here are 8 tips:

Tip 1:
Seeds can be sown directly in the ground when the average daily temperature is above 15°C. Sowing seeds in a container helps them germinate much faster.

Tip 2:
Sowing seeds in a container speeds up the process. Cover the container with a plastic bag and place it under the sun. Seeds can germinate twice as fast this way.

Tip 3:
Plant bean seedlings 1 to 2 inches apart. They need a good organic soil mix, 4 to 8 hours of daily sunlight, and adequate water during the growing stage.

Tip 4:
Pole beans need a trellis to climb. Look out for our upcoming video on how to make a bean trellis. If you don’t have a trellis, you can grow bush beans instead. Bush beans don’t climb and grow only about 20 cm tall.

Tip 5:
More than one bean seedling can climb up the same supporting wire without causing any issues to the plant.

Four weeks after planting, flat beans are the first to start flowering, with average daily temperatures around 17°C to 25°C.

Tip 6:
Flat beans are the quickest to grow, followed by round pole beans, and lastly, long beans. If you have limited space, grow pole beans instead, as they have the highest yield.

Tip 7:
Leave a few good pole beans on the plant until they dry out. Harvest and save them as seeds for next year.

Tip 8:
It’s okay to cut some of the leaves from the lower branches or top section to thin them out. This won’t affect bean production.
