Bush beans

[Gardening with Rabbits]

How do you space yours?

 

[journey11]

I put about 10" between them.

 

[Smart Red]

I scatter them in their bed leaving about 6-8 inches between them.

Sow 9 seeds across and about 10" between rows.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Two rows 12" apart, plants about 8" apart in each row. Skip about 32" to give space to walk and do two more rows at 12". Repeat as necessary. I normally have a double row of green beans, a double row or Black Turtle Beans )dried), and a double row of black eyed peas. A double row of each 40' long is usually enough.

Do you do raised beds, conventional row garden, or something else? Might make a difference.

I do rows, but have tried 3 feet wide beans and have about 2 inches apart without luck. Read several places this is how you do wide row beans.

Major, 9 seeds across how far?

I have seen pictures of gardens and they have then 2 inches, so I am brainwashed about space. Now sitting with sacks of beans in hand and puzzled what to do. Why do I do this to myself

 

[seedcorn]

How many green beans do you want? I plant one row about 25' long, spacing about 4" apart-too close so sue me-and get enough for several families.

I grow tenderrettes and Roma II. I'd grow all Roma II if someone would not nag at me.......

the bush beans are grown in the raised beds which are 3' wide, will thin them out to 7 for good pollination.
