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).

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.

Harvesting
