Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Spring: Sow Golden Wax bean seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, once the soil has warmed to 60°F (15°C). Beans grow best in warm conditions.
- Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks during 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, with rows about 18-24 inches apart for good air circulation and healthy growth.
- Light: Full sun is required for optimal growth, ensuring the plants receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight each day.
Watering and Care
- Water Needs: Keep the soil moist during germination and early growth. Once established, water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Fertilizer: Beans are nitrogen-fixers, meaning they don’t need much additional fertilizer. However, adding compost to the soil before planting will help boost soil fertility and promote strong growth.
- Weeding: Regularly weed around the plants, but be careful not to disturb the shallow roots.
- Mulching: Applying mulch around the base of the plants will help conserve moisture, prevent weed growth, and maintain consistent soil temperature.
Harvesting
- When to Harvest: Golden Wax beans are ready for harvest in about 50-55 days. Harvest the beans when the pods are fully formed, plump, and tender.
- How to Harvest: Gently snap or cut the pods from the plant, being careful not to damage the vines or remaining pods.
