8. Bean harvesting is an ongoing process; the more you collect, the more the plants grow. Beans can be
harvested any time after they form. Bush beans are ready for harvest in 50 to 55 days, while pole
beans take about 55 to 65 days, depending on the variety.
When harvesting, gently pull each bean from the vine or snap them off at the vine end. Take care not
to damage the plant during the harvesting process.
