Beans

'''''Phaseolus vulgaris''''' (The Common Bean) The common bean is highly varied; within this species there are numerous popular cultivars. From a gardening perspective, there are two types of beans: pole beans. Bush beans, as the name suggests, will grow large and bushy without getting too tall. Pole beans are climbers and need trellises, poles, or other forms of support. Different cultivars of the same species can have different support needs, so be sure to check the seed packet information. For the most part, however, beans have similar needs: plenty of sunshine and moist but well-drained soil. Martha Stewart Gardening also suggests fertilizing young plants with manure tea early on to give them a boost. !
