Increasingly, new plants are appearing on our plots. Experienced gardeners are constantly in search of something new to test their strength and diversify their gardening life. One of these plants that is not very common in our gardens is beans. Of course, this is a huge omission because this plant has a huge number of benefits.
Description of the variety
Ripening time: This variety is very early, only 55 days from germination to the first harvest.
Plant sizes: This green bean grows into a bush with a height of 45 cm to 60 cm.
Taste qualities: It’s not for nothing that this variety received such a tasty name; the pods and seeds are very sweet and juicy.
Growing time: Caramel beans grow from May to July, followed by harvesting for 2.5-3 months.
Variety: Caramel is a type of asparagus. This suggests that such beans are eaten together with the pods.
Landing
This crop is planted after the end of return frosts. Depending on geographical and climatic conditions, this period is from mid-May to the first ten days of June. The depth of sowing seeds of the caramel variety is 6-7 cm. An important measure is the planting location: location in a lighted area, not exposed to strong winds, with light fertile soil.Areas after growing potatoes, cabbage, or tomatoes are suitable.
Green beans of the Caramel variety are a plant defenseless against low temperatures.
Growing and care
Green beans are a very undemanding plant. Caring for it consists of the usual measures: moderate watering, loosening if the soil becomes loose or crusty, weeding of weeds.
Separately, I would like to say about fertilizing. Since green beans are a fast-growing plant that bears fruit for a long time and a lot, it is natural that it requires thorough nutrition. However, there is nothing complicated about it. After the emergence of seedlings, on the 10-12th day, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers will be very good. This could be a solution of bird droppings or mullein. Phosphorus-potassium fertilizer will help at the beginning of flowering.
Harvesting
When working with this vegetable crop, the most labor-intensive process is harvesting. As soon as the very first pod has ripened, it is necessary to check the plantings daily for ripening. Overripe asparagus becomes coarse and loses its taste. In addition, it is important to decide on storage. Green beans are either canned or frozen, otherwise they will simply dry out. Harvesting ripe pods stimulates the growth of a new wave of crops.
