Growing Directions:
Sow these seeds in intervals to have a continuous harvest, which is beneficial because each plant has a relatively short harvest window. Sow them about an inch below the soil surface. They need full sun and plenty of water. Rows between plants should be around 20 inches apart, and plants can be spaced 4" apart. Harvest the pods individually as they mature to keep plant productivity high. You can begin harvesting beans when they are about five to six inches long; this will usually be around fifty to seventy days.
Facts:
These bean bush plants are excellent to grow in a rotation, sowing seeds every week or so to have a continual harvest.
