Pole Bean Soil Temp?

[JRinPA]

I'd say 60f min as well. Fortex is one that I grow every year; the seeds are a deep brown. I never read that, about the color mattering. Mine don't go out until mid May at earliest, often June. I love those filet style beans...they freeze well and fry up like fresh, in my opinion. We are still well stocked from last year with peas and beans.
