Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Direct sow seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed to 65°F (18°C) and after the last frost.
• Successive Planting: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-draining, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 2-3 inches apart within rows, with rows spaced 18-24 inches apart for proper growth and airflow.
• Light: Greencrop beans thrive in full sun and require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the best yield.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Beans need consistent moisture throughout the growing season, particularly during flowering and pod development. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy.
• Fertilizer: Beans are natural nitrogen fixers, so they don’t require heavy fertilization. Lightly apply organic compost or a balanced organic fertilizer at planting to support healthy growth.
• Weeding: Keep the planting area free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture. Be careful not to disturb the shallow roots when weeding.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Harvest beans when the pods are fully grown but still tender and green. The beans inside should be plump, but the pods should not overmature or dry out.
• How to Harvest: Gently snap the pods from the plants by hand or use garden shears to cut them off.
