Bush Lima Beans Culture — Lima beans are particularly susceptible to injury from cold, wet weather and therefore should not be planted until two weeks later than string beans. Sandy loam well manured or heavy sod plowed deeply is the best foundation for producing crops of this item. In some areas lima beans are planted in latter June as a second crop after peas in which case only moderate yields can be expected.
