Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, once soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F (18°C).
• Successive Planting: For a continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season.

Planting Details

• Depth: Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 2-3 inches apart within rows, with rows spaced about 18-24 inches apart.
• Light: Prefers full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Beans require consistent moisture, particularly when the plants are flowering and producing pods. Water deeply once or twice a week, keeping the soil moist but not soggy.
• Fertilizer: Beans naturally fix nitrogen in the soil, so they typically don’t require heavy fertilization. Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost at planting for strong, healthy growth.
• Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to ensure the plants get all the nutrients they need. Be careful not to disturb the roots when weeding.
• Mulching: Use mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, especially in warmer climates.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Harvest pods when they are young, tender, and fully developed but before they become tough and fibrous. The pods should snap easily when bent.
• How to Harvest: Gently snap the pods from the plant by hand or use shears to avoid damaging the plant. For dried beans, allow the pods to dry on the vine before harvesting.
