Green Beans vs Yellow Beans

[rigardengal]

So, I've planted both in my raised bed, in seperate spots of course. The green beans have sprouted long before the wax beans. The packages both say 7-14 days germination. Well, it's been well over 14, I've since added a few more yellow bean seeds to the area. Has anyone had any experience with wax beans? Do the seeds take longer to germinate?

They seem to yes, I germinated a few bush green beans then some wax and purple and they all germinated except the wax, guess they take longer?

This is my first year growing them, but I haven't noticed a difference yet. I started a pile of them a while back, both green bush beens and yellow wax beans. They germinated within a day of each other. Pretty much the same time. I also found that almost every bean I planted sprouted. I have more I planted a few days ago that I'm still waiting for so I'll watch them and see which pop up first.

I plant all three varieties.
The sprout about the same.
This year the green bean were a little slower, but they were in a worst spot.

yellow beans seem to be a little pickier as to the ground temperature
We planted green beans on the true memorial day weekend (not the observed) and they came up spotty, in about 6 days.. replanted the bare spots last thursday, they are up already, but I have planted yellows before and they always come up a few days later than the greens

I've noticed my wax beans take longer to germinate. I grow pole wax beans.
