Where Can You Grow Beans?

Beans are warm-season crops that thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. They can be grown in backyard gardens, raised beds, or large containers, and climbing types will flourish with trellises or teepees for support. Bush beans are compact and quick to mature, while broad beans prefer cooler seasons and are excellent for autumn and winter planting.

For year-round success, rotate varieties to suit your climate—plant heat-loving yardlong beans and snake beans in summer, and broad beans in cooler months.

Health Benefits of Beans

Beans are packed with protein, fibre, and essential vitamins such as folate, iron, and B vitamins. They are low in fat and support digestive health while helping to keep you fuller for longer. Fresh beans are a nutritious staple for vegetarian and plant-based diets and can be enjoyed in a variety of cuisines.
