Addendum to green beans

As I read my last post on growing beans, I forgot to explain what I meant when I said "stagger plantings" of seed. Green beans can be planted every 2 weeks if you have enough space. When I had my farm I usually planted 10-12 forty foot rows of green beans. but I would start with 4-6 rows, then wait 2 weeks and plant a couple more and so on until the end of Summer or I got tired of canning, freezing, selling and giving away green beans. Most varieties are prolific producers so depending on how many your family will eat fresh and if you want to freeze some for Winter use, you can just keep planting. Keep in mind most veggies should not be planted in the same spot twice in the same or following season so plan accordingly for crop rotation. I will post a blog later on this topic. Any questions feel free to post it on the blog as a comment and I will respond asap.
