Sowing & Growing

Sow indoors April to May, 20mm deep in 8cm pots of seed compost. Propagate at 12-25°C. Germination takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light. Once germinated grow on in cooler conditions until frost has passed. Acclimatise 7-10 days before planting out. Alternatively sow directly outside May to July into warm soil 5cm deep, spacing 25cm, rows 60cm apart. Growing Instructions Water regularly. Mulch around plant during dry periods. Climbing beans will require support from canes, string or netting from time of planting.
