How to Grow Pole Beans 
Pole Beans should not be planted until all 
danger of frost is passed and the soil is warm 
and moderately dry. They do best if the vines 
are given support, the most frequently used 
being’. rough poles, spaced 3 to 4 ft. apart 
each way. Place 5 or 6 beans around each 
pole, cover with 2 in. of soil, and firm to 
assist germination. When plants are well 
started, thin so that 3 or 4 of the strongest 
remain to a pole. A packet of seed is enough 
for 15 poles, except Scarlet Runner, a packet 
of which is enough for 8 poles. Pole Beans 
may also be planted 3 to 5 in. apart along a 
trellis or fence.
