I guess the answer lies in what variety. I know that the bush beans I planted last year produced over an extended period and not all at once. That might not be the case with the variety you are growing. I think you would be safe with 2 large sowings.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-7212112382438888912010-06-03T09:39:42.521-04:002010-06-03T09:39:42.521-04:00Everything is looking fantastic, Thomas.Everything is looking fantastic, Thomas.Turlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466952089423973036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-41172819149163073582010-06-03T09:10:24.715-04:002010-06-03T09:10:24.715-04:00This is my first year growing green beans and I wa...This is my first year growing green beans and I was wondering if I should plant a few plants every month to have a continous harvest or just do two big plantings? any advice?Jeskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971622209950509109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778141609680363377.post-13989600252266605132010-06-03T08:55:04.719-04:002010-06-03T08:55:04.719-04:00I love interplanting onion sets with lettuces - it...I love interplanting onion sets with lettuces - it makes a superior salad garden, complete with green onions!
