Beans, Peas & Legumes

2nd crop

12 years ago

I live in So Cal and my pole beans will be pretty much done by mid to late July. Can I plant a second crop? There will be 90 degree days, perhaps a few to 100. We have good sunny weather into October although the days will be getting shorter of course. I will work in compost & fertilzer before I replant. I just planted the basics; Blue Lake, Kentucky Wonder and Golden Wax beans. Thank you.

I think it would be worth a try. I'm in Michigan, and I've had them go pretty late into the fall here. In 2008, we didn't have any frosts at all, and I picked some in November. I would think it would be worth at shot in CA for sure.
