Successfully planting faba beans - an overview
Bright red flowers are not only the eye-catcher on fire beans, from them derives also the name Feuerbohne. We have a one-year-old common bean, which is cultivated every year from May in the garden and on the balcony. Here it grows up on trellises and thus serves as a blooming screen.
Which types of beans are there?
Where are roast beans grown?
Runner beans thrive on a sunny, sheltered spot in the garden or on the balcony. Also possible is a location in the light partial shade. Especially on the balcony there must be room for a climbing aid where the tendrils can wind upwards.
Which substrate need fire beans?
Simple garden soil is sufficient for the cultivation of fire beans. It is important that the soil is well loosened up, since roasted beans are deeply rooted. With the addition of compost you ensure a sufficient nutrient supply.
When is planting time for runner beans?
The planting time for early firebeans starts from mid-May.
At this time, the seeds are also directly planted in the bed or in the pot.
What distance must be observed when sowing and planting?
When are beans ready to be harvested?
Runner beans take about 10 weeks to harvest. As early as July, the pods are harvested as green beans with whole pods or as grain bean with mature seeds. If the young beans are harvested regularly, they will bear fruit for a long time.
