🌱 Bush beans are a type of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) that grow in a compact, bushy form—no trellising required! They're perfect for small gardens, containers, or anyone who wants a low-maintenance crop with a quick harvest.
Planting: Sow seeds directly into warm soil (70–80°F) about 1 inch deep and 3 inches apart. Space rows 18–24 inches apart.
Sunlight: Full sun (6–8 hours daily) is ideal.
Soil: Well-draining, rich in organic matter, with a pH of 6.0–7.0.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water early in the day to avoid fungal issues.
Harvest: Most varieties mature in 50–70 days. Frequent picking encourages more pods.
