How to grow a string bean
Пришел к нам этот овощ с Центральной и Южной America. While the Americans were using the green beans for food, the Russians learned about it only at the end of the 16th century, but also fell in love very quickly. About how to grow beans at home, experienced truck farmers know for sure, but newcomers some doubt whether they will be able to harvest a good harvest. I can not answer for the quantity of the crop, as much will depend not only on you, but also on weather conditions, since the string beans require a sufficient amount of light and heat.
String beans cultivation loves caring, though not so capricious as many other vegetables.
First of all, you need to prepare the soil.During its digging, a gram of fifty ammonium nitrate, the same amount of superphosphate and potassium salt (the amount is indicated per 1 sq.m.) should be added. Ideally, it is good to plant asparagus beans in the place where potatoes or roots were grown before it. The neighborhood of peas, onions and garlic will be undesirable.
Определитесь с выбором сорта.Personally on my own I want to advise the Sachs variety, since it quickly ripens, and is also resistant to a large number of diseases. You can turn your attention to the Triumph Sugar variety. He enjoys special popularity in the European part of Russia.
Before planting seeds, soak, and then sowat a distance of 12 cm between plants and 25 cm between rows. It is best to put two seeds in each well, and leave the strongest after the shoots. The first shoots will already appear about a week later. Note that the string beans, which usually grow in the second half of May and the end of September, like heat, so you should start planting only if the slightest frost does not show your existence. The optimum temperature for the germination of such a vegetable is 20-23C. But if the weather in your region is capricious enough, then you can put the asparagus beans under film as you do with cucumbers.
Beans - growing and grooming
So, the bean is planted, the first shoots appeared,which quickly begin to grow. Make sure that the vegetables do not crush the grass, that is, we need to carry out weeding in a timely manner. If you chose a curly variety, you will have to build special structures for which it will cling and reach for the sun. Make sure that the asparagus beans do not dry out. Especially beans need watering in a dry summer. The lack of moisture has a very negative impact on the amount of harvest that can later be harvested.
Note that the string beans,the cultivation of which you already know, is consumed only after heat treatment. In its fresh form it contains poisonous substances, which are completely destroyed only after exposure to high temperature. Usually, beans are first boiled, and then they make a variety of dishes from it. The easiest way to cook it delicious is to fry in a pan with onion, adding salt, seasoning and sour cream to taste. Make from string beans and delicious salads, and even bake it in the oven. In general, if you decide to grow this vegetable, then you will not regret about it, since the green beans you will always find use.
