In order to properly organize a garden, knowing the full cycle of bean plant growth can allow you to maximize the bean growing season, optimizing the amount of beans you get for the effort that you put in. All types of beans, ranging from the green bean to chick peas, are a solid addition to any diet. High in protein, the bean is one of the founding ingredients in a vegetarian's diet, as well as an great side dish for those with a liking for meat.

If you are building a bean garden, the first stage of bean plant growth is the seed. High quality seeds have a much higher chance of the plant growing, which will result in a higher volume of beans in your garden. While these seeds may be slightly more expensive, the overall increase of bean plant growth is worth the effort, especially if you intend on having a larger garden.

To ensure plant health, planting should be done when the temperature drops no lower than 61 degrees F or 16 degrees C. If the temperature drops below this level, your plants may not germinate, and may die.

Once your seeds are planted, the time it takes for the plant to hit the seedling stage ranges from three to approximately forty days, with the average being eleven days. A seedling is a very young plant that has just started to crack the top of the soil. This part of the bean plant growth cycle is vital, as a healthy seedling will mature into a robust plant. If your seedlings are dehydrated or over fed, your crops will suffer and the volume of crop gained later in the cycle will be smaller.

From the point that your crop has matured into a seedling,it requires an average of at least fifty days for your crop to create pods and be ripe for harvest. This means that there is realistically only one grow cycle for beans in a year. Planting of beans should happen no earlier than March to make certain that your crops have had plenty of time to mature during the season before fall frosts strike. Frost can massively harm bean plant growth, and care should be done to avoid this. In cooler climates, this can be difficult, as the time needed for bean plant growth is closely tied to when frosts end and begin.

The bean plant is an annual plant, which means that it can regrow itself for at least three growing seasons. However, many gardeners will  start from fresh, destroying the old bean plants and sowing new each season to Make certain that the bean plant growth cycle avoids frost from harming their crops.
