- Days to maturity: Green bean varieties have different days to maturity, typically ranging from 50 to 70 days. This information is usually provided on the seed packet or plant label. Count the days from when you planted the seeds or transplanted the seedlings to estimate when the beans might be ready for harvest.
- Appearance and size: Green beans are typically harvested when they reach a certain size and appearance. For most varieties, the beans are ready to be picked when they are about 4 to 6 inches long and have a smooth, firm texture. Avoid waiting too long to harvest, as the beans can become tough and less flavorful.
- Snap test: One way to determine if green beans are ready for harvest is by performing a snap test. Hold the bean between your fingers and gently bend it. If it breaks easily and cleanly, it is likely at its peak for harvesting. If the bean bends without snapping, it may need more time to mature.
- Color: Green beans are usually picked when they are a vibrant, bright green color. Different varieties may have slightly different shades of green, but avoid harvesting beans that are yellowing or browning, as they are overripe and may have a tougher texture.
- Harvest frequency: Green beans are typically harvested in a staggered manner as they reach maturity. Check your plants regularly and harvest beans as they mature. This encourages continued production and prevents the beans from becoming overly mature and tough.
- Morning harvest: It is generally recommended to harvest green beans in the morning when the plants are still cool and the bean pods are crisp. This helps preserve their quality and flavor. Avoid harvesting during the hottest part of the day, as the beans may become limp and less enjoyable to eat.
Remember to use clean gardening shears or scissors to snip the beans off the plant, avoiding any damage to the rest of the plant. If you are growing pole beans that climb trellises or supports, carefully lift the vines to access the beans for harvest.
By monitoring the size, appearance, snap test, and color of the beans, you can determine the best time to harvest your green beans in Texas. Enjoy the fresh and delicious flavors of your homegrown green beans in your favorite recipes!
