Growing Instructions
Direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Beans prefer loose, well-drained soil with moderate fertility and consistent moisture. Sow seeds 1–1.5 inches deep and thin seedlings to proper spacing once established. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as this encourages leaf growth over pod production. Harvest frequently while pods are young and smooth to encourage continued flowering and higher yields. Provide even watering during dry periods to prevent tough pods.
