How long will it take for green beans, planted from seeds, to start producing?

My plants are probably about 4 inches tall now and I am wondering how much longer it will be until we are eating home grown veggies.

Beans are a warm weather veg. I hope where you live is past the frost free date. Most green beans have a harvest date between 40 to 60 days after you plant them. The days to maturity/harvest should be listed on the seed packets. As the flower drops off you will see the been emerge and grow. Most green beans should be picked when they are 5 to 7 inches long. Pole beans 5 to 8 inches. This depends on the variety that you planted. Beans will keep on producing for awhile as long as you keep picking them. You will need to check them every day for new ones to pick or the ones you might have missed the day before. Don't let them get too long before you pick them. This will send a signal to the plant to stop producing. Lastly, you might to consider a support system so the plants don't tip over. Even with the bush beans I use a support. I use those 3' green fence posts with the hooks on it and run a strand of chicken wire down the row. Good Luck.
Reply:I would say four more weeks, once they start to flower then you should see it produce
Reply:I am guessing a little but if properly planted and cared for about 5 weeks
