It's all about temperature. Soil fertility is number two, and you may need to protect from flea beetles and bean beetles.

I use low tunnels with agrofabric covers to retain heat and humidity.

Choose the longer asian varieties as they are not as dependent on heat. They are also tender so dont need to be cooked as long. Orient Express is an example.
