Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and speed up germination.

Sowing:

Direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C).
Plant seeds 1 to 1.5 inches deep.
Space bush bean seeds 3-4 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.
Space pole bean seeds 4-6 inches apart with rows or supports 3-4 feet apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Ensure seeds are not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can cause seeds to rot.

Transplanting:

Borlotti beans are best sown directly in the garden, as they do not transplant well due to their delicate root systems.
If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots to minimize root disturbance.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
For pole varieties, provide support such as stakes, trellises, or bean poles to encourage upward growth.
Harvest beans when the pods are mature and the seeds inside are fully developed but not overly dry.

Happy Gardening!
