Lots of Zone 10 folks start the snaps earlier. My garden is only 10 feet from a lake so it's usually too humid and buggy for me the start them til now. Table 3 here states you can plant pole beans now but they never grow well for me when things cool down and daylight gets shorter, I start them around the beginning of September. I picked the bagged Purple Podded Poles Thursday night and the basket yesterday morning, I only have two 7' trellises.

I also started ten buckets of sugar snaps yesterday morning, five buckets of Super Sugar Snaps, and five experimental buckets of a hybrid purple called Purple Magnolia.

Thank you Tom, for responding!
I'll skip the beans then and just go with the sugar snaps. Your bean pods look gorgeous, almost too pretty to eat ;) I ordered sugar snaps, sugar lace II and super sugar snaps from park seed as I couldn't find them locally at the big box stores and had a 10 dollar gift certificate, also got some Swiss chard, bright lights and a packet of Hestia beans and some chocolate cherry seeds, I did grow the cheery tomatoes last year and fell in love with them. This year I'm growing 10 plants of all different kinds, I don't care if I have big yields or not, just playing while I'm learning and I get to try different varieties to keep growing again if I like something a lot. I do grow micro salad greens and love them. I've learned to stagger them by 1 or 2 week intervals to always have enough every day. For spring I am clearing a 25 by 16 area that gets full sun and hope to grow tomatoes, snaps, beans and a few other things. My tomatoes I've learned to grow in containers only but hope the peas and beans and other veggies can go in the ground. I should be ready to turn in compost, potting soil from repotted plants in that area, cover with black plastic until I'm ready to actually plant. Nice weather for 6 months to do a lot!
