Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Sow after all danger of frost when the soil has warmed to at least 65°F (18°C); seeds rot in cold, wet soil.
• Soil: Well-drained soil; avoid planting in wet ground.
• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Watering: Keep soil from drying out; the most critical period is flowering through pod fill.
• Spacing: Sow about 1 inch deep, 2-3 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart.
• Germination: 7-14 days.
• Harvest: About 85 days after planting, when pods are plump, bright green, and the beans nearly touch inside; do not wait until pods yellow.
• Tips: Sow every few weeks for a longer harvest, since all pods on a plant mature at once; cook and eat promptly for the best flavor.
