🫘 Green bean
Phaseolus vulgaris
Beans are sown directly in place once the soil reaches 12-15 °C, from mid-May to July. Two months later the harvest starts — and lasts longer the more often you pick.

The tips that matter
- Never sow in cold soil: below 10 °C the seed rots instead of germinating.
- Pick every 2-3 days while the pods are slim — that is what keeps the plants producing.
- Earth up the stems slightly when plants are 15 cm tall to steady them against wind.
