When: When danger of frost has dissipated - late May through to July. The soil must be warm for this plant to survive.

 

Sowing directions: Plant 2" deep and about 6"-10" apart, rows should be 4' apart. Full sun is best.

 

Harvest: Germinates in 5-10 days and can be harvested between 50-65 days. This plant will continue to produce new beans as long as it is regularly harvested.

 

Tip: Soaking for a few hours before planting in warm water will assist germination.

 

Water: About 2" weekly is best. Beans are a new gardener's best friend as they are relatively easy to grow. Pole beans are best for smaller gardens due to the vertical spacing and/or in climates where warmer seasons are shorter.
