Grow green beans at home: delicious and reassuring to eat

Green beans are rich in protein and a variety of amino acids the human body needs. Eating them regularly can strengthen the spleen and stomach, and eating them in summer also has a cooling effect. Green thumbs are advised to grow green beans at home~

Green thumbs tend to have some confusion about sowing, cultivating, and trellising green beans. Below, let's specifically learn some knowledge about growing green beans!

I. Seed treatment

Sun the green bean seeds for 2~3 days, then soak the seeds in 55°C water for 15~20 minutes. During this time, green thumbs should keep stirring continuously. Finally, remember to soak the seeds at room temperature for 24 hours to increase the germination rate!

II. Planting preparation

Green thumbs are advised to choose a container with a depth of more than 15 cm, preferably with a diameter of more than 20 cm. For the growing medium, you can use soil that has previously been used to grow flowers or vegetables, but it must be sterilized in sunlight to reduce pathogens in the soil so the seedlings can emerge.

III. Temperature and light

Green beans are a warmth-loving plant. The suitable temperature for growth is 15°C~25°C, and the suitable temperature for flowering and pod setting is 20°C~25°C. Low temperatures below 10°C or high temperatures above 30°C will affect the growth of green beans and normal pollination and pod setting. At the same time, green beans are short-day plants, and many of their varieties are not strict about day length. The growing season is mainly restricted by temperature.

IV. Water and fertilizer management

Green thumbs should carry out appropriate water and fertilizer management according to the seedling condition of green beans. The principle is "dry flowers, wet pods; control early, promote later." After green beans set pods, keep the soil moist and apply a topdressing of urea once every half month. You can also spray a foliar fertilizer of monopotassium phosphate. When the plants enter the aging stage, we should promptly remove old, damaged, and diseased leaves to reduce nutrient consumption.

V. Trellising and guiding vines

When the vines are 25~30 cm long, insert 2 bamboo poles around each green bean plant and cross them into a ""-shaped trellis. A trellis height above 2 m is preferable. Green thumbs should remember to guide the vines onto the trellis in time~

VI. Harvesting

Green beans grow very quickly. Generally, they can be harvested 10 days after flowering, harvesting once every 1~2 days. If we do not harvest in time, the quality of the green beans will decline, the fiber in the pods will increase, the beans will become old, and the eating quality will worsen accordingly.
