Planting: Sow seeds in a sunny location after all danger of frost has passed.
Care: Grow your pole beans on a sturdy structure such as a trellis, open weave fencing, or on bamboo or pole teepees. Ensure any temporary structures are securely anchored to prevent collapse during the growing season. Make sure to provide supplemental watering to the plants during periods of droughty weather.
