Green and wax beans are planted from seed in the spring or when temperature will allow.

Fertilize monthly, but go easy – too much produces more leaves and fewer beans. Beans rarely require additional nitrogen fertilizer but usually benefit from additional phosphorus and potassium.
A period of 50 – 70 days is required for planting to harvesting. Upon harvesting, bean should be cooled 4.4 °C and held at that temperature until sold as the fresh products, or until processed.
