Seed Preparation:

Sowing:

• When to Plant: Directly sow seeds in the garden after the danger of frost has passed, and the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (16°C).
• How to Sow:
  • Plant seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep.
  • Space seeds 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) apart in rows.
  • Rows should be spaced 18-24 inches (46-61 cm) apart.

Germination:

• Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging during germination.

Transplanting:

• Direct sowing is highly recommended for beans to avoid root disturbance.
• If seeds are started indoors, use biodegradable pots.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, ensuring they are hardened off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.

Care and Maintenance:

• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during flowering and pod development. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
• Support (Optional): If needed, provide small stakes for additional support.

Harvesting:

• Harvest beans regularly when they are young and tender to encourage continuous production.
• Pick pods before seeds inside become overly large for the best flavor and texture.
