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?

You need a soil thermometer. Soil temps can vary all over your garden, depending upon...so many factors!

Just try the soil thermometer. I have had mine for at least 10 years and it’s much more accurate then trying to gauge temps by a ‘guestimate’ on daytime and nighttime temps.

Ten bucks on Amazon. You’ll have it in a few days. You will never go back when it comes to planting your green beans. And I can guarantee that you’ll have great germination and more green beans than you’ll know what to do with! :)
