Plant Height: 50-60cm
| How To Grow | Sow vegetable seeds 25mm (1in) deep in dark damp soil - avoid watering for a day or two afterwards. Sow 7-10cm (3-4in) apart, allowing 50cm (20in) between rows. Ensure the danger of frosts has passed and protect plants from wind. Plant in 3-5m (10-16ft) rows and remove weeds regularly. Water well during dry periods and spray flowers with a fine rose on your watering can, this will help the pods to set. Harvesting whilst young, will provide stringless beans. Additional fertiliser is generally not required as legumes produce their own nitrogen. Plants make an excellent soil improver. |
