Instructions - Peppering seeds with inoculants before sowing helps ensure good growth. Beans may benefit from a source of soluble nitrogen (if your soil is low in nitrogen) during the first 3 weeks until nitrogen-fixing nodules develop, but do not apply nitrogen after this period. 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.
