Beans will tolerate a wide range of soil types but make their best growth in light, organic, well drained soil with a pH of about 6.5. Beans have a distinct dislike for cold wet soils, so plant seed only after the soil has warmed to at least 16C (60F). To ensure a continuous harvest, plant bush-type varieties every 10 days until mid-July.
