One of the most popular vegetables to grow in Zone 9 in May is the very tasty Green Bean. Not only can they be eaten raw but they can be used fresh in many dishes, froze and canned easily. They are relatively easy to grow, grow quickly and are delicious.
Easy to Grow
Green Beans are part of the legume family and do not need perfect soil. They will produce their own nitrogen (with help from bacteria found in their roots) and are undemanding on the other major nutrients. They can be planted directly outside and have a rather good germination rate.
Grow Quickly
After germination green bean plants grow rather rapidly. Vine type plants continue to grow all season and bush type plants reach max height in a few short weeks.
Delicious
There are many verities that are popular, but almost all of them taste great. They can be used fresh, frozen or canned. One simple recipe is to just allow them to cook all day in a crock-pot with water garlic onion and salt!
