Instructions -

Beans only require average fertility and prefer pH in the 6.0 - 6.8 range. Choose well-drained, warm soils and use inoculants to increase yields where natural Rhizobia populations are low. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 75-95°F. Beans are particularly sensitive to cool soils and are prone to rot if temperatures are below 55°F. 

Harvest early and often to increase yields. Remove oversized beans to maintain pod production. Beans are ready for storage when the seed coat can not be dented by a fingernail. Store beans in a cool dry place. 

• Sow 1-2" Deep
• Space 6" apart in rows; use single or double rows with 12" between, and 4' center beds with trellis in the middle 
• Days to maturity are from direct seeding after all danger of frost has passed
