Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

• Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 4-6 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and enhance germination.

Sowing and Germination

Direct Sowing (Recommended):

• Timing: Sow seeds outdoors after the last frost when soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (16°C).
• Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in well-prepared soil.
• Spacing:
  • Bush varieties: Space seeds 3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) apart in rows 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart.
  • Pole varieties: Space seeds 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) apart in rows 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart, providing support with stakes or trellises.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to support healthy sprouting.

Transplanting and Care

Watering:

• Provide 1-1.5 inches (2.5-3.8 cm) of water per week, increasing during dry spells.
• Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Mulching:

• Apply mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.

Support for Pole Varieties:

• Use stakes, trellises, or bean poles to support climbing vines as they grow.

Pest and Disease Management:

• Monitor for common pests such as aphids, beetles, and caterpillars.
• Use organic insecticidal soap if needed and practice crop rotation to reduce disease risks.

Harvesting and Storage

When to Harvest:

• Beans are ready for harvest when they are young and tender, usually 50-60 days after planting.
• Use scissors or garden shears to cut beans from the plant, avoiding damage to stems.

Storage:

• Fresh beans can be refrigerated for up to a week.
• To store longer, blanch and freeze or dry the beans for later use.
