Plant bean seeds outdoors after the last expected frost, when the soil has warmed. Beans generally grow best during warm weather and may perform poorly in cold, wet soil.
Many common bean varieties germinate in approximately 7–14 days when soil temperatures and moisture are suitable. Germination time can vary with seed freshness, variety, and growing conditions.
Some bean varieties can be harvested as dry beans by allowing their pods to mature and dry on the plant. Because the exact variety of Ancient Native Beans is not specified, check the seed supplier's variety information to confirm the intended harvest method.
