Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Spring: Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date, once soil temperatures have reached at least 60°F (15°C).
• Successive Planting: For continuous harvest, plant seeds every 2-3 weeks during the growing season.

Planting Details

• Light: Prefers full sun (at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily) for optimal growth and productivity.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during germination and when pods are forming. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil is not soggy.
• Fertilizer: Use balanced fertilizer or compost for healthy growth, but avoid over-fertilizing as beans naturally fix nitrogen in the soil.
• Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to ensure plants aren’t competing for nutrients and water. Be careful when weeding to avoid disturbing shallow roots.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, keep weeds at bay, and regulate soil temperature.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Pods are ready for harvest when they are firm, straight, and bright green. For the best flavor and texture, harvest beans while they are young and tender.
