Yardlong beans
Yardlong beans go by several names, including asparagus beans, Chinese long beans and snake beans.
If you are worried about not having a long enough season for the beans to mature, you can warm the soil by covering it with black plastic a few weeks before your last frost date.
yardlong beans generally don't require supplemental feeding, since they fix their own nitrogen from the air.
Long beans are generally planted in the spring when the soil warms up after a harsh winter. The seeds will emerge in 10 to 14 days; after about 50-60 days, beans can be harvested. Long beans prefer warm summers for maximum production. In an area such as the Pacific Northwest, a raised bed in the sunniest area of the garden should be selected for cultivation. So, it's best to plant them as a mid or late spring crop and when any chance of frost has passed.
Yardlong beans are easy to grow and can be grown in most soil types. Here are some steps to grow yardlong beans:
- Direct sow yardlong beans after all danger of frost is past and the soil is at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Sow long bean seeds 1 inch deep and water them well.
- Support long bean plant from a stake once they get into 5 inches.
- Use a low Nitrogen fertilizer for a quick and better growing.
- Water them 2 inches in every week.
Yardlong beans grow best in full sun and will need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth.
