- Timing: Direct sow from mid-spring to early summer. Plant during warm, dry spells for best results.
- Starting: Sow seeds 2-5cm (1-2") deep, 5-8cm (2-3") apart, in rows 45-60cm (18-24") apart. Thin to 15cm (6") apart.
Maintenance:
- Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Well-drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10') of row.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid wet leaves to prevent diseases.

Harvest and Use:
- Frequent Harvesting: Pick beans regularly to keep the plant producing. The smaller the bean, the more tender they are.
- Storage: Usual seed life is 3 years. In optimal conditions, at least 75% of seeds should germinate.
Companion Planting:
- Nitrogen Fixation: Beans enrich the soil with nitrogen.
- Compatible Plants: Plant with beets, Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries.
