Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Sowing Instructions:

• Indoor Sowing:

  • Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost.
  • Sow seeds 1 inch deep in seed trays or pots with a high-quality seed-starting mix.
  • Maintain a soil temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C) for optimal germination.
  • Keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Germination usually takes 7-14 days.

• Outdoor Sowing:

  • Direct sow after the danger of frost has passed and the soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C).
  • Plant seeds 1-1.5 inches deep, spacing them 2-3 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart.

Germination:

• Seeds typically sprout within 7-10 days under optimal conditions.
• Keep soil moist but not soggy, and provide plenty of sunlight for seedlings.

Transplanting:

• Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have at least two sets of true leaves and the threat of frost has passed.
• Gradually harden off seedlings by exposing them to outdoor conditions for a week before transplanting them into the garden.

Care & Maintenance:

Watering:

• Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of disease.
• Water at the base of the plants to keep the foliage dry.

Fertilization:

• Beans generally do not require much fertilizer. However, applying a balanced fertilizer or compost once or twice during the growing season can help promote healthy growth.

Support:

• White Half Runner Green Beans are bush-type plants, so they do not require heavy trellising or support but may benefit from slight staking to keep them upright.

Weeding:

• Keep the area around your plants free of weeds, as they can compete for nutrients and water.
• Mulching around the plants can help suppress weed growth and retain soil moisture.

Harvesting:

• Mature Beans: Harvest beans when the pods are firm and the beans inside have fully developed but before they start to harden.
• Pick Method: Gently pull the pods from the vines or bushes by hand. Be sure not to damage the plants.
• Storage: After harvesting, you can use the beans fresh or freeze them for later use. Beans can also be preserved by canning if desired.

Culinary Uses:

• Fresh Eating: Enjoy fresh beans in salads, sautéed, or steamed.
• Cooking: Use in soups, stews, or stir-fries for a mild, tender bean texture.
• Canning/Freezing: Preserve the beans for later by canning or freezing them. Blanch before freezing to retain texture and color.

Benefits of Growing White Half Runner Green Beans:

• Compact Growth: Ideal for smaller gardens or containers due to their bushy nature.
