A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Food Garden Forum Vegetable Gardening WHEN TO PLANT BUSH & POLE BEANS IN nj

hi All, my first post... when to direct sow outside in NJ..thanks

What part of NJ? Check Bill's zone chart, zone is important...I'd soak 'em overnight and plant...if they freeze, replant...early is good. They are a warm season crop, though, so you could wait if you must.

Central Jersey zone 7

I would make a good guess of the first week of May being fine. In MN I plant beans early May which is before the last frost date but they are always fine.

I alrdy planted pole beans here in CA.They have grown their first true leaves already & are growing fast.
