Late-season green beans , also known as autumn green beans, are green beans that are typically planted in summer and harvested in autumn. Compared to spring green beans, their biggest advantage is that they germinate very easily, which is why many people prefer to grow them. So, when should late-season green beans be planted? Let's find out below.
In which month should late-season green beans be planted?
The planting time for late-season green beans is usually between August and September, but the specific time depends on factors such as the climate conditions of the production area. For example, in northern regions, it can be done slightly earlier. Planting too early or too late will affect the yield and quality of late-season green beans.
