Beans, Lima
Phaseolus limensis
Planting:
Direct seed after all danger of frost when the soil reaches 18-24°C (65-75°F). Sow 1" deep, 4-6" apart in rows 30-32" apart.
Growing:
Lima beans need a sunny, warm spot with very well drained soil as these beans prefer a dry soil and a long, warm growing season. For fertility and soil pH requirements, see regular bush beans.
Harvest:
Begin picking once the pods are well filled and beans are still tender. Pick regularly for continual yield.
