Green beans

An ideal substitute for meat dishes can be deliciously cooked beans, which contain no less protein than pork or beef. Originating from South and Central America, green beans appeared in Russia in the 16th century. In addition to a large amount of protein, beans contain many vitamins, including B vitamins, vitamin C and important elements such as iron and calcium.

To make dishes with green beans as tasty and healthy as possible, you should grow this crop in your garden. To do this, you should choose a well-lit place, protected from strong winds and with a low groundwater level. The ripening period of beans can be from 2 to 3.5 months. Seeds are planted immediately after spring frosts.

Therefore, to enrich the soil with nitrogen, it is enough to plant beans in this place, and the next year feel free to plant other crops.
