Well, they need warm weather to get a good start and an even supply of water when they begin to run. Mine are growing at the entrance where there was a packed gravel road. The soil is hard clay and gravel and only inches deep. Each year I add compost and dig around with a finger hoe to loosen and remove more gravel. I think mulching the bases of the plants really helps to keep the water even and the roots cool. In fact, that is probably the single most important growing suggestion.

Here they are this week. Starting to produce a lot of beans. The hummers and butterflies love these.
