Sure, green beans, pole beans and white Northern beans are all familiar to home gardeners, but let’s not forget the wonderful black bean. known as black turtle beans, these legumes are very easy to grow in a well-prepared garden, and they’re a fiber-packed, heart-healthy staple in many ethnic dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other beans, they’re larger seeds, and they benefit from soaking for two hours before planting (to rehydrate them and encourage germination). They also grow better when planted with inoculants (which can also be purchased from many mail-order seed companies).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most beans, black beans grow quickly in soil that’s been amended and fertilized. The trick is to plant it later than many other varieties. While bush beans profit from being planted early so the beans will mature before the insect population is at its worst, black beans grow best when planted later in spring. In fact, warm weather helps these beans grow faster, and the rains of early summer strengthen the plant. And as summer builds, the hot, dry conditions are great for drying black beans in their pods on the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to planting, black beans need to be 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart. Rather than digging a series of small holes in the soil, just take your hand trowel and gently scrape a straight line in the soil that’s 1 inch deep. Then take your presoaked seed, coat them in an inoculant before planting, and place your first seed at the edge of the line. Place your next seed in the soil about 4 inches over from the first. Continue this pattern until your row is complete, then cover the seeds with soil. Repeat the process in another trough just 4 inches away (and continue until all your bean seeds have been planted).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo support your beans as they grow, offer a 3-foot-tall structure for them. When the bean pods begin to fill out, water your plants only if needed and allow the pods to dry out in the summer sun. Harvest your beans after the pods have dried completely and the beans have turned black. (If you pick a few and find the beans are still white and the pods are moist, allow them to dry further before harvesting the rest.) When they’re ready for picking, crack open the pods to remove the beans, and spread them on a flat surface to dry for another day or two. After that, place the beans in a container in a cool, dry place and use as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack beans are so versatile, you can enjoy them in many recipes in place of red or pinto beans. They’re great in chilis or stews, and are delicious in rice and bean recipes, as well as burritos and enchiladas. Just soak your black beans overnight to rehydrate them before using. (If you find an overnight soaking makes the beans mealy instead of firm, soak them just a few hours instead.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere’s one fantastic black bean and rice recipe that’s super simple:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBring 3-4 cups of water to boil in a medium saucepan.

They need full sun to produce best. Before you start planting bush beans, you should consider inoculating the soil with bean inoculant, which will have bacteria that help the bean plant produce better. Your bush beans will still produce if you do not add bean inoculants to the soil, but it will help you get a bigger crop from your bush beans. Plant bush bean seeds about 1 1\/2 inches deep and 3 inches apart. If you are planting more than one row of bush beans, the rows should be 18 to 24 inches apart. You can expect the bush beans to germinate in about one to two weeks. If you would like a continuous harvest of bush beans through the season, plant new bush bean seeds about once every two weeks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Grow Bush Type Beans\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce bush beans have started growing, they need little care.
