Bean
Phaseolus vulgaris
Common beans thrive in full sun with warm, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, and they are one of the most rewarding edible crops for home gardeners. Water consistently, especially once flowers appear, to ensure a good pod set, and avoid wetting the foliage to reduce disease risk. Support climbing varieties with stakes or a trellis, and harvest pods regularly to encourage continued production.
