Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Directly sow seeds outdoors once the soil has warmed to about 65°F (18°C) and after the last frost date in your area.
• Successive 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-draining, fertile soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 2-3 inches apart within rows, with rows spaced 18-24 inches apart for proper airflow and growth.
• Light: Prefers full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and pod production.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Beans need regular watering, especially during pod development. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
• Fertilizer: Beans naturally fix nitrogen in the soil, so they typically don't require heavy fertilization. A light application of organic compost or balanced fertilizer at planting time is beneficial for growth.
• Weeding: Keep the planting area weed-free, as weeds can compete for nutrients and moisture. Be gentle when weeding to avoid disturbing the shallow root system.
• Mulching: Use mulch to conserve moisture, maintain soil temperature, and prevent weed growth.

Harvesting

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