Extra Growing Info

Ideally sow seeds in double rows, 5cm (2in) deep in well prepared soil, 20-23cm (8-9in) apart both in the row and between each row. Allow at least 60cm (24in) between each double row. Germination takes about 10 days.

Support the plants as they grow by placing a cane or stout stick at each corner and tying in with string, especially in windy sites.

Keep well watered especially when flowering and as pods set. Pinch out growing tip once pods have set to help deter blackfly. Pick regularly as the pods swell and the beans are tasty, soft and tender, and to promote further pod production.
