FIELD BEANS 
Phaseolus vulgaris 
Field beans are principally grown in the commercial bean production areas of the North 
and West where growing and harvest conditions are more ideal for the production of high 
grade edible beans. In the central and more southern areas home gardeners like to plant 
a small patch for home and local use and the best results are obtained when plantings are 
made late in June or first of July to take advantage of the more suitable growing and 
curing conditions of the early Fall months.
