Growing Instructions

Sunlight: Full sun supports strong flowering, pod set, and productive plants.

Soil: Use loose, well-drained soil with moderate fertility; excessive nitrogen can encourage foliage over pods.

Watering: Keep evenly moist during germination, flowering, and pod development while avoiding waterlogged soil.

Sowing Depth: Sow about one to one-and-a-half inches deep after soil warms.

Spacing: Space bush beans about three to six inches apart; pole beans about four to six inches apart with sturdy support.

Germination: Warm soil commonly supports germination in five to ten days.

Harvesting Time: Pick snap beans while pods are tender; allow dry or shell beans to mature according to their intended use.

Days to Harvest: Bush snap beans often begin harvest around fifty to sixty days, while pole and dry types can take longer.

Plant Height: Bush beans remain compact, while pole beans can climb six feet or more.

Care Tips: Avoid handling wet foliage, provide support for climbing types, and harvest tender pods frequently to prolong production.
