Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Climbing French Bean seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting. However, you can soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting to soften the seed coat and promote faster germination.

Sowing:

Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-drained soil.
Wait until the soil has warmed up to at least 60°F (15°C) before planting, as Climbing French Beans are sensitive to cold temperatures.
Plant the seeds directly into the garden soil or in containers. Space the seeds about 6 inches (15 centimeters) apart and plant them 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) deep.
If planting in rows, space the rows about 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60 centimeters) apart to allow ample room for the plants to climb.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 7 to 14 days.
Once the seeds have germinated and the seedlings have emerged, thin them to a spacing of 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) apart to give each plant enough space to grow.

Transplanting:

If you started the seeds indoors or in containers, you can transplant the seedlings into the garden once they have developed at least two sets of true leaves.
Harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over the course of a week before transplanting.
Plant the seedlings at the same depth they were growing in their containers and water them thoroughly after transplanting to help them establish in their new location.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide support for the Climbing French Bean plants to climb as they grow. You can use trellises, stakes, or other support structures.
Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season, especially during periods of hot weather. Water deeply and regularly, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the beans clean.
Monitor the plants regularly for pests and diseases, such as aphids, bean beetles, or fungal infections, and take appropriate measures to control them if necessary.
Harvest the beans regularly once they reach the desired size and maturity, typically when they are young and tender. This encourages continued production throughout the season.

Happy gardening!
