Plant green beans by selecting a good location, making a row to plant the seeds, spacing apart the plants and setting up trellises for climbing varieties. You need green bean seeds, a hoe, and a trellis or cattle panel.Continue Reading
Choose a sunny area with loamy, well-drained soil to plant the beans. Make sure the soil reaches a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit before planting.
Using your hoe, create a 1-inch furrow in which to plant the seeds. If your soil is sandy, make the row a little deeper than 1 inch.
Place the green bean seeds in the row, and cover them with soil. Gently press down the soil. For bush beans, space the seeds at least 2 inches apart. Pole beans need 3 inches of room.
For pole beans, stake the plants or set up a trellis to support them. If you wish to grow a large number of plants, install a cattle panel in the garden bed. Cattle panels are 5 feet by 16 feet and beans climb them with ease.
Water the seeds immediately after planting. Choose sunny days for watering.
