2026 GTS Grow Reports: Lima Beans (Phaseolus Lunatus)

My Lima bean plants seem to be struggling and I’m wondering if they are going to pod at all :frowning: the corn is thriving, along with my tomato plants nearby, but these bean vines are only about a foot tall. These were directly sown on May 13th. They were attacked pretty strongly by slugs but recovered slowly

2026 Lima beans, as well as some others I’m trialing for my perennial Lima bean project




That colour is so lovely!! Are Lima beans fussy to grow? Do they need lots of heat?
