Harvesting
When to harvest common beans? Bush beans will be ready for harvest 50 to 60 after sowing. Pole beans will be ready for harvest 60 to 90 days after sowing. Pick green or snap beans when pods are young and tender, about 3 inches long or just before seeds begin to bulge and grow plump.
How to harvest common beans?: manually pull the bean stems or use a sickle to cut the haulms from the base. It is advisable to harvest in the morning to avoid undue shattering. Use selective harvesting if pods have unevenly matured.
