who has some tips for growing bean plants?
Answers:
no matter what kind of bean you intend to grow, there is one important thing to do when seeding beans. Beans and all legumes are able to fix nitrogen (an important nutrient for vegetave growth) from the air and place it on their roots. However, when seeded, benas have a difficult time accessing the available nitrogen in the soil to begin growing well.
The way to help the plant is to innoculate the seeds. The powedered innoculant is easy to find in any nursery or online seed company catalogue.
One last thing...pole beans are easier to harvest than bush beans, and they will produce throughout the season as long as you keep harvesting the beans that are ready. Bush beans, on the other hand, give all their beans in a two to three week period and then are finished.
Happy planting

I always start my runner bean plants between damp tissue paper in the airing cupboard 'dark & warmth', when they sprout, pot up and move into frostfree place, finaly plant, out wait three months, then eat the beans.
Or alternatively buy fresh beans at the supermarket and plant roses.
