You should be able to plant any 45-60 day cultivar during July. My favorite early is Contender, but any of them should work.

I plant them in succession so that if some succumb to a disease or pest, there's always a new crop coming along. Happy planting!

I planted green beans yesterday and will plant once more in a couple weeks. I have planted Florence, Espada, Provider, Derby, and Stringless Gteen Pod [meaty].

How long after a rain do you wait to plant green beans? Also Is it possible to soak your beans to long and what is the purpose of soaking them? I had beans soaking for 24 hours is this to long are they going to be ok to plant?

Myself, I never soak the seeds. Usually you can plant a couple days after a rain this time of year.

I just finished doing a third planting of beans. I can't remember the names of my first planting (tho I think Green Bush was one) but the second was Contender (glad to read it's a fav of Farmer Dill's) as well as the purple bean Royal Burgandy and the third planting (yesterday) was the French Bush Bean 'Montpellier' (wished I had found it's seeds earlier in the year.....I'm not sure if I'll like some of the first ones I planted).
