Growing

Plant in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and sow again mid July for a fall crop. The success of a fall crop will depend on the weather. Plant 2.5cm (1") deep, 2-7cm (1-3"). Seeds sprout in 7-14 days.

• Optimal soil temperature is between 10-20°C
• Space plants 15cm (6") apart
• Matures in 62-70 days
• The smaller the bean, the more tender they are
• Only presoak the seeds if you have dry soils
