Lima beans or “butterbeans” could be grown about the identical time and same means as snap beans. Several harvests may be obtained if the crop is correctly cared for and harvested earlier than the beans reach maturity. If the ground is sufficiently degree, run water within the furrows until the soil is completely soaked. If the soil may be very sandy or the surface is simply too irregular, use sprinklers or a porous irrigating hose. Keep in thoughts, however, that any watering practice that wets the foliage will increase illness damage, particularly if the foliage stays wet for prolonged durations. If you use sprinklers, water the backyard within the early morning or at night so the foliage does not stay wet in the course of the day. Over-watering not solely wastes water but also leaches fertilizer beneath the root zone, making further fertilizer necessary.
