Extend the Season of Bean harvests by planting bean seeds in successive plantings throughout the spring. Planting every two weeks will stagger plant maturity and bean production cycles to produce crops that will produce over a longer period. Planting all seeds at one time will result in all bean plants producing their beans at the same time. Avoid this with staggered planting. After the first Beans have finished their harvest, pull out the plants, compost and begin to plant fall crops in the place where the bean plants were removed. This will begin a pattern to extend the season of the fall harvest because the fall planting is now staggered.
My dad used to to this and it works!
