This bean needs a longer growing period so start these indoors in mid-May to early-June. These are ancient Asian legumes, commonly grown as a pulse or dried bean but also sometimes used fresh. They have been cultivated for centuries in China and Japan as well as other countries in the East. The plant itself grows 30-60 cm in height, producing yellow flowers followed by clusters of pods. Young tender pods can be picked early and used much as you would use snap peas. These beans are excellent for container growing but they enrich the soil significantly so you may want to sow them outdoors in beds or your main garden area. Adzuki beans are linked to several health benefits, ranging from heart health and weight loss to improved digestion and a lower risk of diabetes. An average plant can produce up to 120 pods. -

Asparagus Bean seeds are also known as yard-long beans. This attractive plant is botanically different from regular pole beans and bears the tongue-twisting Latin name Vigna unguiculata sesquipidalis. At first, this plant appears to grow as a bush, but when the summer heat comes along, it bursts into vertical growth with twisting vines, and purple flowers, followed by fast-growing pods that are meant to be harvested at 60-65cm (24-26”) in length. Even at that amazing size, the beans are just over 1cm (½”) thick, tender, and tasty. These beans feature prominently in Asian cuisines and are most productive in hot weather. Start indoors mid-spring, and transplant as soon as the soil warms up at the solstice. -

The use of a low tunnel for the first month of growing (Until June 20th) will help in the production of these lovely tender beans. The Chinese Vigna can tolerate acidic soils and will require full sun. Water them often so that they don’t wilt in the sun. Due to the nature of a vine, support, such as a trellis, will be needed. Pods grow long and slightly heavy, so they will need strong support. The pods take two to three months to reach maturity, at which point they should be anywhere from 60-80 cm long. you will want to start picking them when they are 20-25 cm long. Once pods begin to reach this size, they should be harvested each day to encourage production on the vine. Vines need a trellis and reach 3 meters high. -
