Looks like it's time to plant green beans here in Texas. Thought gardeners might find this information helpful.

Thanks for the post. Although I do not plant green beans in my ‘zone’ until mid-May... Green beans will not survive a freeze.

What type of green beans do you plant?

Is this a 'pole' variety? I have not heard of them.

Still too early here in NJ - normally plant mid April
to early May depending on weather.

I normally watch weather and wait until night temps dont
go below 40 F

Wintwer been real mild so may plant earlier around April 1

Thank you for the link. Ah, the yard long beans. Personally, I like ‘Jade’, Purple beans, and a small variety called French Filet. I have not yet made up my mind which type I will plant this year.

I don’t like canned ones, but fresh are a different story, of course they have to be seasoned with bacon or other pork season.

I pity you.

Give them another try with onion, bacon, red pepper and a little vinegar for seasoning - mmm, mmm, go-o-od!

My favorites are the pinto beans, picked and cooked whole in the pod. VIrtually same thing as Italian green beens, and superior taste to pole or bush beans. Also produces faster, I think.

My dad just pulls out his almanac every year and follows it. He has a decent crop of everything he plants.

Yeah, I was thinking, “but if you plant them, don’t you stand a good chance of getting green beans”? So, to be safe, I just won’t plant them. But my tomatoes, zucchini, and jalapenos look good already.

Try these with melted butter and toasted almond slivers:

TOP CROP grow well around here. Tasty. Especially when cooked in bacon grease. Ya, I know. Watch out for the food police...
