Beans, Lima

Lima bean plants are even bushier than snap beans. They will need even more space — at least three feet between wide rows. The seeds should be planted about four inches apart with about an inch and a half of firmed soil over them. This spacing is just about ideal for the plants to support each other and keep each other off the ground.

Don’t forget that it takes eleven or twelve weeks for lima beans to reach maturity. People in some northern states don’t have this much time, and should try to plant very early or forget about trying to grow limas.

Lima beans are ready to be harvested when the beans have formed to the point where the pods look fat. You should find from two to five beans in each one, depending on the year. Limas like well-drained soil, so it is best not to plant your wide row in a low spot where it tends to stay wet.
