SOWING: Plant outdoors in May through June after weather has warmed and all danger of frost has passed. Sow seeds 2 to 3 inches apart covering seeds with 1 to 1 1\2 inches of fine soil. Firm soil over seed.
SPACING: Leave approximately 2 feet between rows or plant in wide rows sowing seeds 4 to 6 inches apart in all directions.
THINNING: When plants are 3 or 4 inches high, thin to 4 to 6 inches apart.
GERMINATION: 1 to 2 weeks depending upon soil and weather conditions. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Beans grow best in a sunny location in fertile, light, well-drained soil. Water plants deeply when dry by soaking soil. 3-4 foot bean poles can be used for support, though none are required. Bean pods can be left to dry on the wine. Harvest pods when completely dry then store in a container for later use.
SEED SAVING: Let bean pods dry completely on the vine. Remove from pods and store in a cool, dry place.
