The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Scottsdale you can determine when you can plant pole beans by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Pole beans

Frost tolerance for pole beans:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After all chance of frost has passed.

It's a bad idea to plant pole beans until after all chance of frost has passed because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant pole beans in Scottsdale is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant pole beans and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your pole beans may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your pole beans indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
