Growing Instructions

• When to Plant: Direct sow 1–2 weeks after the last frost when soil is at least 70°F (21°C), ideally 80–90°F (27–32°C)
• Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil; warm soil speeds germination
• Sunlight: Full sun
• Watering: Water moderately and consistently; mulch to retain moisture
• Spacing: Thin to 12–18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart; sow ½–1 inch deep
• Germination: 7–14 days at 70–90°F (21–32°C); soaking seeds 6–8 hours before sowing speeds emergence
• Harvest: Pick pods at 3–4 inches long, every 2–3 days; pods get tough if left to grow large
• Tips: Wear gloves and long sleeves when harvesting — the foliage can irritate sensitive skin; letting pods mature on the plant slows new production
