Growing Instructions:
Direct sow after last frost.
Plant spacing: 4” to 6” apart
Row spacing: 15” to 18” apart
Beans fix their own nitrogen so fertilizer should not be too rich or there will be too much foliage at the expense of pods. A well-balanced, well-cured compost and a sprinkle of wood-ash should be adequate. Make sure soil pH is between 5.8 and 7.0.
Harvest Instructions:
Harvest as snap beans when pods are tender before beans develop.
