Adzuki Beans?

[Scarlet]

bearded bloke they don't need special environment.
chart you posted lists where the grow wild not where they will grow if farmed.
90 day growth period should doable for most of UK.

Aduki beans take 120-150 days from planting to maturity. That is far too long for our UK Summers. They are a cultivated bean and DO NOT GROW IN THE WILD

ps. bloke the shouting was intentional make sure the sentence unless you clearly define the subject some posters seem go on tangents instead of keeping the thread on topic.

Aside from what VC said above, a polite request is far more likely to be well recieved (& thus complied with), than a shouted command.

[bearded bloke]

it really would help if you add an indication of roughly where you're growing on your posts so advice can be made to suit.

Thanks BB, makes a huge difference, that's why it's so helpful when people put it in the location bit at the top of the posts

[sunshinekitty]

Given most veg location is not really the important for advice because location does not give you important info to give advice on growing.

frost dates, height above sea level season length,highest summer temperature ,day length range, average summer temp are more important then location; because that is what some think know location gives them which a fallacy.

Since nobody here has said they grow aduki beans (except as sprouts), you are asking in the wrong location. if you want advice on growing them you may get answers from a Forum in the location where they are grown.

I agree that location only gives part of the story but it is not unreasonable for us to assume that, as you are posting on a UK forum, you are in the UK. The mods say you aren't and are actually in the US but nobody else can see this. We want to give relevant advise as this would be quite different for a different continent. I'm afraid that you want helpful responses then every additional bit of information is helpful and a negative and / or aggressive attitude will just annoy people.

Please re-read your post & think about it, you have actually given your own answer as to why location is important for any advice given,

frost dates, height above sea level season length,highest summer temperature ,day length range, average summer temp

can all be obtained from a location

I don't care where the OP is from Rude is Rude wherever you live

Location I find is useful, but mainly so I know which bit of this planet we are talking about. Makes my guessing a bit more accurate (sometimes).

The US has somewhat different climate then we do, so in honesty I guess very few here will be able to give a straight simple idea. Baltimore is at about 40N but I bet they get a much colder winters then we do and we are at 51N, or more.

The US also has their growing areas identified by zones, and I for one have not a clue which Baltimore falls into - the UK "zones" tend to be Wet or Very Wet. However this is a case of a slight difference in the approach to something. The US Winemaking forums have a completely different appraoach to what is important to them them the UK ones do, makes life difficult.

For the OP (sorry name forgotten) we do not it seems grow them as beans here but do grow them as sprouting bits. Just checked a couple of sites and they are listed under "sprouting beans" rather then "growng beans".

Quick search of "growing adzuki beans" throws up a few Google results.
Simple one is this:

Another simple one is this:
Adzuki Beans Plant and Grow

None I can locate are particularily detailed, so they may be a minority crop.

From google results I suspect they are more a warm climate bean, so a bit unsure of Baltimore. But a row, two maybe, should do no harm and give an indication of future prospects.

So much trouble caused by one little bean.

Well thought out & researched reply there Kirk I will thank you for posting it even though I doubt OP will as it falls into her "shouty" bit ....... PS. please do not respond if you have not grown Adzuki Beans! ... which is to my mind the "nub" of the problem with this thread

[sunshinekitty]

If the poster's look to see what USDA growing zone mean they would not even mention them when it comes to vegetable gardening. Since all zones tell you is coldest winter temperature which is not useful when growing 90% of vegetables

[PyreneesPlot]

Maybe the Mods should delete all posts from Grapes who have not grown adzuki beans, although it would leave the thread a little short?
And no, sorry, I've not tried them either, but perhaps the OP could come back and quietly let us now how they got on?

[sparrow100]

OP started on the wrong foot and has kept resolutely going in that direction ever since.

At least now I know not to bother with adzuki beans here. Thanks Kirk, Scarlet, Martin H and Alison.

Sunshinekitty, you catch more fly´s with sugar than you do vinegar!! You have upset a lot of members on here and you are not even slightly regretful for that, it is quite a simple as saying you did not mean it in the way it came across.

Kirk has even gone out of his way to help you and you do not even have the decency of thanking him.

I think i speak for a lot of us and if you were to ask for help again i will be inclined to not help you. So i wish you the best in all your future gardening and hope you take on board some etiquette lessons
