How to Harvest Green Beans?
Bean harvesting is an ongoing process the more
you collect, the more the plants grow. Beans can
be harvested any time after they form. Bush beans
are ready for harvest in 50 to 55 days, while
pole beans take about 55 to 65 days, depending on
the variety. When harvesting, gently pull each
bean from the vine or snap them off at the vine
end. Take care not to damage the plant during the
harvesting process.
