Fall beans

b54red · August 22, 2012

I have tried planting beans in the fall before but the results were not so good because of the heat and whiteflies, so I am going to try something really different this year. I just started some Maxibel beans in cups inside my greenhouse which is air conditioned. I only want about 20 feet of beans so if I plant one every six inches it will only take around 40. I don't know if this will work but I have had really good luck transplanting things so why not beans. I am hoping to keep them in the greenhouse til late September when it usually starts cooling off a little. If I am able and it is still really hot then I may leave them in even longer. I don't know how well they transplant so I will find out and let you all know.
