Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost, once soil temperatures have reached around 60°F (15°C).
- Successive Planting: For a longer harvest season, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.
Planting Details
- Depth: Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds 3-4 inches apart, with rows 18-24 inches apart.
- Light: Requires full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day) for optimal growth.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and the early stages of growth. Once plants are established, they are fairly drought-tolerant, but regular watering will improve yield. Water deeply 1-2 times a week, ensuring the soil does not become soggy.
- Fertilizer: Use compost or an organic balanced fertilizer. Beans naturally fix nitrogen, so they do not require heavy fertilization.
- Weeding: Remove weeds regularly to avoid competition for nutrients and space. Be careful not to disturb the shallow roots.
- Mulching: Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds in check.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Beans are ready to harvest when the pods have turned brown and dry, and the beans inside rattle when shaken. For dried beans, wait for pods to fully mature on the plant.
- How to Harvest: Gently pull or cut the pods from the plant. Allow beans to dry further before shelling.
