Black Bean Plant

Phaseolus vulgaris, commonly grown as Black Turtle Beans, is a bush or semi-runner legume grown for its protein-rich dry seeds. It matures in 95–105 days and prefers full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Plant in mid-late spring after frost, spacing seeds 3 inches apart. Water deeply, mulch to retain moisture, and support as needed. Pests include beetles, cutworms, and slugs. Pods are ready to harvest when yellow to brown and dry.
