Cool summer temperatures result in low yields. Grow in light, well-drained soil, provide adequate, even moisture, especially at flowering time. Dry soil can result in low yields and fibrous pods. Do not over-fertilize Lima beans with nitrogen, which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"aircall-extension-app\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42615103881269,"sku":"10117","price":4.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/6282\/files\/christmas-lima-pole-bean-85-95-days-vegetables-pinetree-garden-seeds-180.jpg?v=1730858424","url":"https:\/\/www.superseeds.mom\/products\/christmas-lima-bean","provider":"Pinetree Garden Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
