Red beans planting and care in the open field

Beans are among the top ten most useful vegetables, so when choosing crops for growing in your garden, they always have a place. In order for the time and money spent to be rewarded with a generous harvest, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic rules of agricultural technology, planting and care for open field cultivation.

When to plant beans outdoors

The planting of beans is planned for May month. You should focus on weather conditions and the correct temperature regime in the soil, which is indicated by indicators 12-15 degrees (at a depth of 10 cm). According to the popular calendar, this period coincides with the flowering of chestnuts.

Erect varieties need to be planted first, and after a week you can start climbing varieties. They plan to plant a bushy legume at the beginning of July... This can be done on the beds from which the harvests of early-maturing vegetables have already been harvested.

Experienced gardeners carry out planting work in several stages: from mid-May to early July with an interval of at least 10 days.

A bush bean variety must be sown in the ground in early July

To speed up the harvest, it is recommended to cover the soil in advance with plastic wrap to warm up. After planting the seeds, cover the garden bed again until the night temperature is at least 12 degrees.

Are beans afraid of frost

Beans are a thermophilic culture, so planting is best done in spring. in the second half of Maywhen the threat of frost has passed. Young shoots are afraid even of cold winds, which is why many gardeners find its place under apple trees or along the fence.

The minimum temperature that bean sprouts can withstand does not exceed the mark -3-4 degrees... If the frosts were short-lived, the beans will survive, but their development will be slowed down and yield decreases.

Agrotextile or film, which are used for construction, will help to change the situation. temporary shelter.

The most popular varieties for planting

Varietal diversity complicates the choice. If there are difficulties in determining the range, it is recommended to give preference to proven varieties that are adapted to the climate and weather conditions of the region.

Planting rules and agricultural techniques for growing in open ground

Seed preparation

To obtain quick shoots and protect young shoots from diseases, the seeds should be prepared before planting.

Soak first in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for about 20 minutes. After the procedure, the beans are washed with clean water and again need to be soaked in wood ash infusion for 2 hours.

At night before sowing, the pea beans are wrapped in a damp cloth for germination at home. And 5 minutes before sowing into the soil, they are dipped into a boric acid solution. This will protect the plant from diseases and pests.

Preparing the soil and choosing a place for sowing

For planting a crop is selected well lit place, but without drafts and strong winds, planting through seedlings is practically not used. The type of soil does not play a big role, but experienced gardeners noted that beans develop worst of all, they can germinate and bear fruit poorly on clay soils. This is due to poor moisture permeability, which causes the seeds and roots to rot.

In general, the preparatory process for the formation of the garden consists in digging the soil to the depth of the shovel bayonet... At the same time, fertilizers are introduced: per 1 m2 add 4 kg of humus or compost, 2 tbsp. l. dolomite flour, 1 tbsp. l. ammonium nitrate and 2 tbsp. l. superphosphate.

When preparing the soil, you need to dig it up to the depth of the shovel bayonet

Another option for enriching the soil with nutrients involves the use of ½ compost (humus), 30 gr. superphosphate, 20 gr. wood ash per 1 m2.

When determining a place for planting beans, those crops that were grown on it last season are taken into account.

Ideal predecessors are: potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, eggplant.

Planting scheme and depth

Shrub varieties of culture are planted according to the scheme:

• seed placement depth - somewhere 5-6 cm;
• distance between holes in a row - 20-25 cm;
• aisle - 40 cm.

Curly varieties are planted in a slightly different way:

• seed placement depth - 5-6 cm;
• spacing between holes in a row - 25-30 cm;
• aisle - 45-50 cm.

When planting beans, 5-6 seeds are immersed in each hole

5-6 seeds are immersed in each hole. After formation on the seedlings, one leaf at a time, you need to leave only 3 seedlings, remove the rest or carefully transplant.

According to lunar calendar for 2018 planting beans is recommended:

• March - 20-23 days;
• April - 6-9, 19, 20, 23-26;
• May - 7-10, 19-24;
• June - 4-7 numbers.

Leaving after disembarkation

Unpretentious beans do not require much attention to themselves, but they still need the basic rules of agricultural technology.

Germinating bean seeds

Bean seeds begin to sprout later 7-10 days after disembarkation... If the air and soil temperature is below the recommended values, then the first shoots will germinate after 5-7 days.

The germination process can be accelerated if the seed is soaked in growth stimulants at home. Covering the beds with a film also contributes to this.

Young shoots must be spud to give them stability.

Watering rules and conditions

The plant loves water, so you should not break the watering regime. It is especially important to moisturize the soil during the period of pod formation.

The rate of water per bush is determined by eye, the procedures are carried out Once a week, the main thing is not to let the soil dry out. The best irrigation liquid is rainfall. Experienced gardeners use settled water, the temperature of which not lower than 18 degrees.

Beans love water, so the soil should not be allowed to dry out.

What top dressing to use in the garden

The culture is responsive to fertilizers. After preparing the soil for planting, you will need to make at least 3 dressings.

The first procedure is performed 3-4 weeks after germination. It is ideal to use a complex fertilizer rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. Superphosphate is also suitable at the rate of 30-40 grams per 1 m2.

After 3 weeks, you need to feed a second time, this is necessary for the formation of fruits (10-15 grams of potassium salt per 1 m2). The third time the nutrients are administered after 3 weeks.

You should not overdo it with fertilizers, you can provoke the growth of tops and reduce the ovary of pods.

Pests and prevention

Beans are one of the few crops that do not attack pests... Only slugs can appear.

Their invasion can be prevented by timely weeding, since weeds grow and create a favorable habitat for parasites. If slugs are found, you can set several traps, from which you need to periodically remove insects for disposal.

The correct timing of harvesting in the country or in the garden

Harvest time depends on the type of crop

Harvest time depend on varieties and types culture. Asparagus beans should not be overexposed in the beds, as the product loses its value when dried.

If you plan to preserve the legume crop, then you can use any unripe fruits. But for winter preparations, it is better to wait for the pods to dry. The main thing is not to be late, so as not to collect beans from the ground later.

You should not pluck all the pods at the same time on the same day if there are completely dry and greenish ones among them. In the shade of its own tops, some ovaries could develop weaker, it is better to leave them to ripen.

To quickly extract the beans from their "houses" it is not at all necessary to sort each one by hand. The stick will do the job, you can knock out the harvested crop.

To do this, exclusively dried pods are laid out on the bedspread, along which with moderate effort you need to walk with a simple tool. It remains only to remove the dry part of the beans. The selected beans are still being dried and only after sorting are they sent for storage.

The agricultural technology of beans is simple, even a novice gardener can sow and grow it in the Moscow region, in the Ukraine, the Urals or Belarus. By completing all the procedures in a timely manner, preparations for the winter are provided with an incredibly healthy and nutritious product, which also diversifies the menu.

Excellent taste combined with a variety of useful, including medicinal properties have made beans a place in the top ten foods recommended for a healthy diet.

How to plant beans and how to care for them to get a decent harvest?

Preparing for landing

Growing a heat-loving culture in the open field requires compliance with a number of parameters.

Timing

Before planting the seeds, make sure that the soil is warmed up enough (its temperature at ten centimeters depth should be about 14-15 degrees Celsius). In spring, this indicator is usually typical for the second or third decade of May.

Seat selection

Good aeration of the soil, deep groundwater, high level of illumination - these are the conditions under which planting and leaving in the open field will give positive results when growing beans.

Sowing a vegetable is best in a loamy area with neutral acidity located on the windless side.

Soil preparation

In autumn, the land on the site where it is supposed to plant beans in open ground should be dug to a depth of 24-25 centimeters. If necessary, the garden is disinfected with potassium permanganate and liming.

The use of organic and mineral fertilizers will help to increase yields. The rate per square meter will be:

compost (humus)	4 Kg
wood ash	20 g
superphosphate	30 g

Seed preparation

Before planting in open ground, the seed must be properly prepared.

Having carefully sorted out the seeds, they are soaked in water for 12-14 hours. When using ash infusion, the procedure time is reduced to two to three hours. Immediately before planting the beans, the seeds are placed in a weak boric acid solution for a few minutes.

Then plant

It is impossible to successfully grow vegetables without observing crop rotation. It is not easy to fulfill all his requirements in a summer cottage or a small vegetable garden, but it is necessary. It is strictly forbidden to sow legumes, which include beans, after other legumes.

But nightshade crops (eggplant, physalis, pepper, tomato, potato), as well as cabbage, carrots and beets can serve as an excellent precursor for beans.

How to plant in open ground

The prepared seeds are planted in dry grooves, which are then leveled with a rake and thoroughly moistened. The planting material is buried in the soil by 4-6 centimeters, placing 3-4 seeds in each hole. In this case, the scheme for planting a vegetable in open ground depends on its variety.

In climbing varieties, the distance between the bushes should be 25-30 centimeters, the row spacing should be 45-50 centimeters. For bush plants, we reduce the interval between plants to 20-25 centimeters, row spacing - up to 40 centimeters.

If all the planted material germinates, the seedlings are thinned out, leaving 2-3 copies in each hole. The rest of the beans sprouted in the ground are carefully removed from the soil and planted on an additional bed.

Advice. “The soil for sowing can be warmed up in advance using a covering material. In this case, the vegetable will grow faster and develop more intensively. "

Care

Taking care of your crops is easy. It is enough to comply with the requirements of agricultural technology.

Watering

The watering schedule depends on the stage of the growing season.

At the first stage of vegetable development, it is enough to keep the soil in the aisles moist. In the flowering phase, the amount of water is brought to 4-6 liters per square meter, and during the period of seed setting and ripening, these volumes are doubled. Plants are watered in the late afternoon with rain or well-settled water, trying not to get on the flowers and ovary.

Top dressing

For feeding beans, mainly phosphorus and potash fertilizers are used. As it develops, the plant extracts nitrogen from the soil on its own. At the germination stage, superphosphate is used, during flowering and ovary formation - potassium salt.

Soil loosening

The systematic supply of oxygen to the roots of plants is ensured by regular weeding and loosening of row spacings. Bush varieties need three-fold hilling: the first is most effective when the plant reaches 10 centimeters, the second is carried out when the bushes are 15-20 centimeters high, and the third is at the stage of their closure.

Garter

When growing climbing varieties, it is necessary to provide for a garter of plants to a support.

The latter can be one and a half to two-meter wooden stakes buried in the ground, around which bean stalks are twisted counterclockwise.

Planting sprouted beans

Seeds are germinated, as a rule, if there is little planting material, and the crop variety is rare. At the same time, the same care requirements are observed as when growing any seedlings.

You can plant beans sprouted in a pot with a peat-earthen mixture in open ground in a month and a half. By this time, a round-the-clock positive temperature should be established on the street, and the soil should warm up to the standard 15 degrees.

Planting and caring for seedlings in the open field, properly germinated at home, are actually the same as for seed propagation.

Collection and storage

The asparagus bean spatulas are removed while they are green and juicy. Pods that have reached five centimeters in length are trimmed or torn off as they ripen. When harvesting for future use, the blades are preserved or frozen.

A different approach to grain harvesting. In this case, the vegetable is harvested after the pods are completely dry. Cutting off the bushes near the ground, the stems are tied into bunches, which are hung upside down in a well-ventilated area. After final drying, the pods are husked. The resulting grain is sorted out, sorted, if necessary, and dried again, poured into glass jars, which are stored in a cool room.

Attention! "Before sending the beans for long-term storage, lightly heat them in the oven for 3-4 minutes."

What to plant after beans

After harvesting beans the next year, the vacated area can be used for growing potatoes, cucumbers, carrots and other crops.

In order to avoid diseases in the place where beans grew, legumes are grown only after four to five years. You can use the land freed up after harvesting immediately by sowing lettuce, dill, cilantro or other fast-growing plants. On the soil enriched with green manure, they will have time to give a crop before the cold weather.

Growing at home

Beans are not often grown in home or greenhouse conditions. If it becomes necessary to plant it at home, it is better to use bush types of asparagus varieties. They take up less space and do not require full ripening for use in food.

For the plants, the same regime is created as for cultivation on the site. It is especially important to provide crops with twelve hours daylight hours. Curly specimens that require a lot of space can be placed on an insulated loggia.

Growing on a trellis

Growing on a trellis makes it possible to provide climbing varieties with sufficient light and create favorable conditions for uniform seed ripening.

A structure that serves as a support for plants is usually stakes driven into the ground with a wire or twine stretched between them.

A structure made of plastic or metal pipes and a special coarse-mesh plastic mesh can serve the same purpose.

Types and varieties of beans

In cereal or hulling varieties, only seeds are eaten, in asparagus or vegetable varieties, the entire pod is completely.

Semi-sugar

In the early stages of the growing season, such beans do not differ from asparagus. At the stage of technical ripeness, its pods are widely used in cooking. As the seed pods mature, they become stiff, and the variety actually becomes a peeling variety.

Sugar (asparagus)

Sugar bean pods retain their original qualities, remain soft and edible throughout the entire ripening period.

Peeling

In this species, only fully ripe beans are eaten, which are an excellent source of protein, minerals and vitamins necessary for humans.

When choosing a variety for sowing, both the taste and the climatic conditions in which the crop will be grown should be taken into account.

Varieties for the Moscow region

In the conditions of the region, early and mid-season low-growing bush varieties have positively proven themselves.

Undemanding in care, climate-tolerant beans:

• Moscow white green-pod-556,
• Nomad
• Green-handled-517
• Gribovskaya-92
• Sugar triumph-764

Varieties for the Urals and the middle lane

The universal high-yielding varieties suitable for cultivation in the middle lane and in the Urals include:

1. Oran
2. Pink
3. Inga
4. Arishka
5. Crane

Varieties for Siberia

The “winner” variety is distinguished by its resistance to cold and disease resistance. The same positive characteristics can be given to the “oil king” variety.

The zoned culture is successfully grown in the climatic conditions of Siberia. With proper care, the varieties “northern star”, “early ripening”, “swallow” will delight you with the harvest.

Diseases

Violation of the requirements of agricultural technology and adverse weather conditions are fraught with diseases.

Anthracnose

Fungal disease that occurs with high humidity. It appears with brownish-brown spots on all aerial parts of the plant. Anthracnose can kill the plant, and infected seeds act as a source of infection.

White and gray rot

White rot (sclerotinosis) is caused by a pathogenic fungus. It arises at the point of contact of the plant stems with the soil, and then spreads to its other parts.

With gray rot, a grayish bloom appears on the leaves, and then on the pods. Most often, the disease develops in rainy weather.

Root rot

Excessive soil moisture is the cause of root rot. The disease is most dangerous at the early stage of the growing season. If treatment is not started immediately, the plant may die due to nutrient deficiencies.

Mosaic

A symptom of the disease is the appearance on the leaves of dead, like mosaic, areas. Vegetable development slows down and may stop altogether.

Powdery mildew

Off-white bloom on stems, leaves and pods indicates powdery mildew disease. The development of the disease is facilitated by warm rainy weather. Powdery mildew reduces yields by 30-35 percent.

Damaged plants are immediately removed from the site and destroyed, the soil is disinfected. Correctly carried out preventive treatment of crops with fungicides will help to avoid diseases.

Pests

Most often, beans suffer from such insect pests as sprout fly, whitefly, aphid, moth. Periodic treatment of crops with insecticides will help to get rid of uninvited guests.

Preparations "Decis", "Aktara", "Gaupsin" and similar are used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, taking into account the timing of harvesting.

Low temperatures help to destroy the bean weevil that infects seeds. If a pest is suspected, the harvested crop should be kept in the freezer for 4-5 days.
Observing the rules of agricultural technology, even a novice gardener can get a rich harvest of a vegetable, wonderful in all respects.

Beans are a very useful dietary product that must be included in your diet due to the mass of vitamins and useful microelements in the composition. In our article, we will consider the instructions for planting beans in open ground, we will analyze all the principles of harvesting.

Planting beans outdoors - a step-by-step guide

It is best to start work in mid-May, the main thing is to monitor the temperature - it should be above +15 degrees, sudden night frosts should also be excluded. Also remember that climbing varieties of this crop need to be planted 7-10 days later than bush varieties.

Preparatory work with soil and seeds

Before planting, you should carefully prepare the seeds. Sort them out, soak in water overnight to swell. Before planting, dip the plants in a boric acid solution, mixing 2 g of the product in 5 liters. This will protect the plants from diseases and pests in the future.

When growing beans, it is worth choosing a clay soil - water will pass through it more slowly, since excess moisture harms this crop. For planting, it is worth choosing areas that are well lit, protected from wind and drafts.

Dig up the area a couple of days before planting and loosen it using a rake. If the soil is too viscous, mix the soil with sand (5 kg of sand per square meter of land) and, if necessary, feed the plants with wood ash, add compost and vermicompost to the soil. Additionally, disinfect with a solution of potassium permanganate.

Planting beans

Beans are thermophilic and are best planted in the southern areas of the garden. The ideal option is to plant in the beds where cabbage, pumpkin, and root vegetables grew before.

In the prepared place, we make pits or grooves about 5 cm deep, fill them with warm water. Be sure to maintain a distance of 20 cm between the holes and 30 cm between the rows.About 5 seeds should be planted in the hole, however, when the first shoots appear, you need to leave the three strongest seedlings, remove the rest. The first shoots will appear in about 7-10 days.

After planting the seeds, sprinkle them with soil on top with a layer of about 0.5 cm. Cover the top of the planting with a film, regularly removing it for airing. If you have planted climbing beans, you should definitely drive pegs near the garden bed or plant plants near the fence.

Bean care - basic rules for growing a plant

Do you want to get a good harvest? In this case, you need to properly care for this culture. Let's take a look at the main steps in care.

Watering

The beans should be watered as the soil dries up - about once a week. However, as soon as the first 4 leaves appear on the seedlings, watering must be stopped, because in this case the water promotes the growth of the green part of the plants, and not the crop.

When budding is carried out, watering must be resumed - the soil must be moistened. It is advisable to use rainwater for irrigation.

Loosening

As soon as the first shoots appear, it is necessary to loosen the soil. however, try to do the work as carefully as possible so as not to damage the delicate root system. Subsequently, loosening is combined with weeding and weed removal.

Top dressing

After the first few leaves appear on the plant, the beans are fertilized using superphosphate fertilizers - 40 g of the product per square meter of the garden. When budding use potash fertilizers - 15 g of additives per "square".

When ripening beans, use wood ash. By the way, beans do not need nitrogen fertilizers, since this crop itself can extract nitrogen, and with its excess, a sharp growth of foliage is observed, and the crop yield decreases.

Garter

When planting curly varieties of beans, it is imperative to use supports, which can be fences, fences, trellises. An important condition is that the selected support must be made of wood, since the beans simply cannot be climbed over the rest of the materials.

The support can be individual pegs about 2.5 m high, which must be deepened into the ground to a depth of 0.5-0.6 m. Young shoots are tied to the supports, and the stem is twisted on the support counterclockwise.When the height of the bush is 50 cm, you need to pinch the top and direct it down.

You can also make a support from stakes: drive them in at a slight slope, fasten them from above in the form of a wigwam. In this case, the distance between the stakes should be about a meter, between the rows - at least 50 cm. The seeds must be sown from the inside of the structure.

Some, instead of the above support, use a trellis, pulling a mesh over it.

Pests and diseases - what will you have to face?

Beans are interesting to many pests. Among the most famous are:

• Cabbage or vegetable scoop. The pest lays eggs on the plant, as a result of which they infect the leaves and fruits of the beans. To protect the crop from the pest, be sure to treat the plantings with bacterial preparations such as Gomelin's solution or Bitoxibacillin.
• Another well-known pest is the bean weevil, which gets into the ground during planting. The caryopsis destroys the grains from the inside. To protect the seeds, be sure to treat the planting material with boric acid.
• Slugs usually appear in too moist soils. In the fight against this pest, monitor the moisture level and be sure to remove all weeds.

There are a number of health conditions that you may encounter when growing beans.

Here we look at planting beet seeds outdoors and learn how to get a big harvest.

We will tell you more about the process of planting peppers in open ground here.

In our material, the process of growing zucchini in the beds is considered in detail.

These include diseases such as:

• The viral disease anthracnose, which very quickly affects the green part of plants - the leaves are covered with dark spots. For prevention purposes, it is worth using a solution of Bordeaux liquid.
• White rot - in this case, the stems turn white, become softer. To combat white rot, use a suitable formulation that includes honey.
• Mosaic. In this case, the leaves are covered with variegated "dots" that form a mosaic. The leaves wrinkle, the beans themselves stop growing, making the plants look dwarf. This disease cannot be treated, therefore only it can be prevented. When the bean bushes reach a height of 15-20 cm, it is worth processing with Fitosporin.

When to harvest and how to store beans?

If you planted sugar or semi-sugar varieties, they are eaten whole. To do this, you need to form newly formed pods that have been hanging on the plant for no more than 7-10 days. It is better to harvest in the morning, as the green pods begin to wither quickly, losing their attractiveness.

If we talk about hulling varieties, then you need to wait until the beans are fully ripe. It is best to harvest from July to late September, when the leaves are already starting to dry out and the appearance of the pod changes, as does its color.

Beans are grown on a support

However, some varieties of beans do not change color after the harvest is ripe, so it is worth considering the recommendations indicated on the package with seeds.

When harvesting beans, the plants must be uprooted and placed under a roof on burlap or plastic to preserve any beans that have fallen to the floor after opening the pods. Once dry, you can remove all the beans from the pods.

They store green beans for about a week and a half in the refrigerator, but if you want to consume them for food in winter, you should freeze the harvested crop. Before placing the beans in the freezer, they must be washed and cut into pieces about 3 cm long. Before packing, be sure to blanch the beans for a couple of minutes, and then place them in containers or bags.

Beans must be dried before being stored, damaged beans removed, and then vacuum sealed, such as in a glass jar.

Conclusion

Beans are an ideal crop for planting in the country.The main plus is that its cultivation and care are quite simple, because this plant is not capricious and does not require serious efforts on the part of the gardener. And a huge variety of species and varieties will allow you to choose the most optimal option for you without any problems.

NSbean sludge from seeds and care - a very responsible business. Many inexperienced summer residents are wondering how to plant beans in open ground, because they do not know when to do this and how to plant them correctly.

In fact, growing beans from seeds can be done by any gardener. The main thing is to create the necessary conditions for her and provide proper care.

You can calculate when to plant beans from seeds on the Internet and in specialized literature. You can also plant in a greenhouse. However, many experienced gardeners find it much easier to provide proper care when grown in soil. This is due to various reasons. If the planting proceeds correctly, there should be no major problems during cultivation.

Growing beans

Landing in the ground has many advantages, for example:

• When planting and growing in a greenhouse, she often suffers from fungal infections. It is especially affected by the fungus when the greenhouse is not ventilated;
• A climbing plant needs freedom. When it is grown from seed in a low-ceilinged greenhouse, it is not possible to install supports of a suitable height. She descends to the ground, and her whips can rot;
• The vegetable does not like excess moisture, and in any greenhouse there is high humidity;
• Taking care of the plant is much easier than when it grows in a greenhouse.

However, some gardeners find it grows much better in a greenhouse than outdoors. In the conditions of the Russian Central belt and more northern regions, this is indeed the case. However, in regions where the climate is warm and dry, it is best to plant from seed to soil. The main thing is to provide the plant with proper care after planting. Proper care is the key to a good harvest.

Useful properties of beans

Some gardeners believe that it is not necessary to plant green beans on their personal plot, since they are freely available in the vegetable departments of large supermarkets.

but there is nothing better than vegetables from their own bedsto, grown using environmentally friendly technologies. Anyone who wants to be healthy and eat right knows that it is rich in vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances.

Same the vegetable contains a lot of protein, therefore, it is an ideal meat substitute for those who observe Orthodox fasts. However, it appears already frozen on supermarket shelves. Despite modern technologies of "shock freezing", which allow to preserve a large amount of useful substances in frozen vegetables, frozen, it loses many useful properties.

Therefore, it is best to use vegetables from your own summer cottage for preparing hearty and tasty dishes. Young beans of some varieties are consumed together with green pods, picking them at the very beginning of ripening. Ripe peeled from pods. Regular consumption of beans helps to strengthen the bodya, because:

• It quickly creates a feeling of satiety, so dishes from it should be periodically included in the menu for those who are on a diet;
• This vegetable normalizes the digestive processes;
• Contains a high concentration of fiber;
• Also contained in pods and beans antioxidants - useful substances that effectively fight the aging of the skin and internal organs.

This product should definitely be included in the diet of people doing hard physical work, as this protein-rich vegetable helps to restore strength. Dishes made from green beans have a pleasant taste. However, canned food, especially the one sold in stores, is not as healthy as fresh.

If the gardener has received a large harvest, it is best to dry it and store it in airtight containers or in a canvas bag. Or you can make homemade canned food using an autoclave. The advantage of home preservation, in comparison with store preservation, is that in home canned food there is definitely no excess of salt, hot spices and industrial chemical flavors.

How to plant beans: seed preparation

You can choose seeds for planting from your own seed. However, many gardeners prefer to buy seeds for planting in specialized stores, as they want to grow different varieties. In some cases, it is not recommended to use your own material.

If she has suffered from fungal or bacterial infections, it is best to purchase seeds for planting at the store or from your gardener neighbors.

It is very easy to recognize an infection: when the vegetable is ripe, brown, dark brown and black spots may appear on the pods in the form of concentric circles. The seeds from such pods should never be used for planting. Pods showing signs of infection should be burned. Seeds are prepared for open field planting as follows:

• During harvest, you need to carefully remove the ripe pods and spread them, for example, on a table or on a newspaper. It is advisable that they do not come into contact with each other, because the contact of the pods leads to their rapid decay;
• When the pods are a little dry, you can start removing the seeds. To do this, you need to take the pod in one hand and gently break it with the other hand. You need to break the pod only with your hands, so as not to damage the seeds there;
• Further, from the pod with a light movement, seeds are extracted - beans;
• After all the pods are cleaned and the beans are collected in a canvas bag or plastic container, the beans are selected for seed. The largest beans are selected for seeds;
• You should not put deformed beans and beans of an irregular shape on seeds, since deformation can be a sign of congenital deformities;
• Beans selected for seeds should be germinated;
• Sprouted seeds are planted in a greenhouse or outdoors.

When choosing seeds, you should pay special attention to their color. White beans are suitable for those who like to eat right. Dishes from it are often included in various diets. Fresh red beans contain toxic substances, so there is no way to eat fresh red beans. It is eaten only after conservation or prolonged heat treatment.

Black bean is rich in protein and other nutrients, but black bean dishes are quite heavy food. It is best to plant common, the most common white beans in the garden. It ripens quickly, gives a good harvest and has excellent taste.

Beans: planting and care

When planting beans in open ground, the gardener should keep in mind that this vegetable crop loves the sun. Excess moisture and high air humidity, on the contrary, are detrimental to legumes.
