~~~Lima Beans (bush) mature more slowly about 10 to 15 days earlier than Pole Lima Beans.
The large seed size of Lima Beans store significant amount of carbohydrates, making them susceptible to soil fungi and bacteria.
Harvest Lima Beans when pods are bright green, the seeds are full-sized and the ends of the pods will be soft.

~~~Prepare the soil. Start by fertilizing with a 5-10-10 mixture, or try an organic variety of fertilizer for vegetables available at local and online retailers.
