Sow: April to June
Harvest: July to October
Sow Indoors
Sow individually in clean pots or modules of compost, 5 cm deep. Water well. Keep on a warm windowsill or in a propagator, maintaining a minimum temperature of 12°C.
Growing On / Planting Out
Slowly acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out in May to June when the risk of frost has passed, 15 to 20 cm apart in full sun, in soil with added organic matter. Keep soil moist at all times.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow direct into the required harvest location, 5 cm deep, 15 to 20 cm apart. Allow 30 cm between rows. Keep soil moist at all times. If planting in containers, choose one at least 30 cm in diameter.
Advice
Sow early for mature beans as they are slower to grow. Young, tender pods may be picked and steamed whole. Alternatively, leave the pods on until fully mature, harvesting when dry, but before the first frost. Do not pick after rain. Remove beans from pods, lay out in a warm place to dry until hard. Store in an airtight jar. Also suitable for freezing. Cook pods and beans to avoid discomfort when eating.
