Soak Them or Not?
Sometime tomorrow (Saturday), I will be planting pole beans. I almost always soak beans overnight before planting them, but this time, there's a different factor to weigh in.
Starting Sunday, the forecast is rain for the next 5 days and up to 3-5" of rain for a huge area of Texas.
Our garden soil is oak leaf amended sandy loam that drains very well. There is a slight slope to the garden. There is clay 18-21" below the loam soil, so that shouldn't be a problem. It is never muddy in the garden.
Would you soak the beans or just plant them dry?
