Black beans are a staple crop in the cuisines of central and southern America. They have been cultivated for thousands of years and plants are very easy to grow in backyard vegetable gardens.
Black bean plants go by the name ‘Phaseolus vulgaris’ and they are heat-loving crops that can thrive growing in vegetable garden beds, raised beds, or large containers. There are different types to grow – coming in pole or bush varieties – and can be an enjoyable vegetable to plant in any productive garden.
