Bean Seeds
Most gardeners start their
green beans from seed. This way they can choose exactly what type of green
bean they want to grow in their garden. Green beans grow on two different
types of plants, bush plants and pole plants. Once you decide what type
of plant you want in your garden you have a wide variety of green bean
seeds to choose from.
Facts about
Bush Green Beans:
Bush plants grown about 1 1/2
feet tall. Bush plants should be planted in rows at least 2 to 2 1/2 feet
apart to allow for ample air flow between them. Most bush snap bean seeds
mature within 50-60 days.
Facts about Pole Green Beans:
Pole beans can climb between
8 to 10 feet high. You must supply them ample support, such as a trellis,
fence or pole. They will need help starting their climb, but one established
they will continue well on their own. Most pole snap bean seeds mature
within 65 to 80 days.

Some garden
experts suggest home gardeners, especially beginners, use fungicide treated
seeds. The fungicide helps to prevent certain plant diseases from occurring.
They also suggest you choose bean varieties that are resistant to diseases
such as powdery mildew, rust, bean mosaic and curly top. This is not a
guarantee you won't develop these problems in the garden, but it's an
extra measure of help against them.
