Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Sow Romano beans after the last frost when the soil has warmed to about 60°F (15°C). Beans prefer warmer temperatures for optimal growth.
• Succession 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 loose, fertile, and well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 2-3 inches apart, and leave 18-24 inches between rows to allow the plants room to grow and spread.
• Light: Beans require full sun, so choose a location with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and early growth stages. Once established, water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root development.
• Fertilizer: Beans are nitrogen-fixing plants and generally don’t require fertilization. Adding compost to the soil before planting will provide the necessary nutrients for optimal growth.
• Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to minimize competition for nutrients and moisture. Be cautious around the shallow roots of the plants while weeding.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Romano beans are ready to harvest in 50-55 days. Pods should be plump and tender when harvested for fresh use, or left to mature for dried beans.
• How to Harvest: Pick pods when they are fully developed but still tender. If allowing them to mature for storage, let the pods dry on the vine until crisp before harvesting.

Perfect For

• Fresh Eating: Romano beans are perfect for fresh meals. Their tender texture makes them ideal for salads, stir-fries, and side dishes.
• Freezing and Canning: These beans freeze well, making them a great option for preserving the harvest.
• Steaming and Stir-Frying: Their broad, flat pods are perfect for steaming or stir-frying, making them a versatile addition to various dishes.
