Before Planting: Beans prefer full sun, at least 6-8 hours a day. The soil temperature should be above 60°F before planting for best germination rates, and they do best with soil temperatures in the 70-80°F range. Beans don’t need the best soil conditions to thrive as they are often used to improve soil conditions because they will fix nitrogen in the soil.

Planting: plant the seeds about1-2" inches deep, The rows should be 2 ft apart.

Watering: Do not let the soil get dry while the beans are blooming or the blooms will drop and yields will be decreased.

Fertilizer: After the plants begin to flower and set beans, apply 1/2 cup of general purpose fertilizer for every 10 feet of row.

Days to Maturity: 60-75 days

Harvesting: Beans should be picked while the pods still snap, and the beans have not filled the pod out completely.
