One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Zone 13b you can determine when you can plant pole beans by checking out the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Pole beans

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

It's probably not a good idea to plant pole beans until after the last frost because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant pole beans in Zone 13b is January. However, you really should wait until February 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 November. Any later than that and your pole beans may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your pole beans indoors.

Last Frost Date

In Zone 13b it never frosts. It might get as low as 65°F during the coldest months of winter.

Keep in mind that the actual date of last frost may not be accurate from year to year because it is based on the USDA zone info for Zone 13b and it can change quite a bit from year to year. Since it never frosts in Zone 13b you do not have to be ready to cover your pole beans in the event of a late frost.
