Dark-seeded beans are more resistant to rotting in cool soil than light-seeded beans. Beans need a minimum soil temperature of 65 degrees F to germinate well, otherwise, seeds may rot. Plant every 3 weeks for a steady supply. For snap beans, pick before seeds fill the pods. Keep well picked so that plants continue to bear.  Well-drained garden soil; do best in soils with pH above 6.0.  After the last frost, plant seeds 1 in. deep Plant 2 in. apart  Rows: 12-18 in. apart  Thinning: 4 in. apart  Avoid watering the plants in the evening.  Mulch plants to prevent rain from splashing dirt on beans.  Firefly Farm & Mercantile may substitute seed vendors from time to time because of the availability
