Meant to add: The nice thing about bush beans is that once the soil warms up you can seed them every couple of weeks and you will have fresh beans all season. (I LOVE green beans; had some with supper tonight, actually.)

I’ve also done that with pole green beans, especially if I’ve had some ‘Chipmunk thievery.’ I’ve found that I’m able to extend the pole bean harvest that way, too.

(Never tried it with drying beans, but I kind of want them ALL to come in and the pods to dry at the same time late in the season so I can shuck them all at the same time.)

You’re probably right, I probably did plant too early. I have a stupid question though, if the soil temperature is supposed to be at least 60 then that means the night time temperature also needs to be over 60 right? I mean it’s the lowest soil temperature that is 60 so that would be at night. Or am I overthinking this?
