Instructions
Beans are a warm season crop and seeds should be sown directly into the garden when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Optimum soil temperature (not air temperature) should be 15-29°C (59-84°F) for seeds to germinate. Planting at a lower temperature will delay germination. Space seeds and plant to the depth indicated below. Press seeds into the soil to ensure good contact and cover with 1.3 cm (1/2 in.) of soil. After planting, water the seeds with a gentle mist or shower. It is critical to keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy during germination. When your seedlings reach a height of a few centimetres (inches) and have developed 2 or 3 pairs of leaves, it is important to thin them out, according to the plant spacing indicated below. Do not allow the soil to become dry, as young plants have underdeveloped roots and can quickly dehydrate, particularly in windy conditions.
- Planting Depth: 2.5 cm (1in.)
- Seed Spacing: Sow beans seeds roughly 10 cm (4 in.) apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 60cm (24 in.) apart.
- Plant Spacing: 15 cm (6 in.)
- Instructions for Nutrient Care: Apply SUPERThrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Suggestions
Growing Suggestions:
- Keep picking regularly to ensure continuous production.
- Too many beans maturing at one time? Try sowing 1/2 or 1/3 of a row one or two weeks apart to extend the harvesting of fresh flavorful beans.
- Avoid working among plants while the foliage is damp or wet as this can encourage and spread fungal and bacterial diseases such as powdery mildew, blight, rust, etc.
- When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning.
- Avoid fertilizing with nitrogen, which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth.

Love these!
"Will be ordering more!"
Romano beans
"So far the germination has been poor. Only 3 seeds out of 20 seeds planted in April 23. This is April 28. But it is early and I have hope. I have had much better yield with the African Daisy seeds. Thanks Nancy"

Grows fast!
"I planted the seeds 4 days ago and they have already sprouted! Germination rate about 90%-100%. The seedlings look strong and healthy. Will comment once they have produced beans."
Didn’t grow
"Only two grew from the whole packet. Disappointed."
Amazing producer easy to grow
"I decided to try to grow a few vegetables this year. I’ve not grown a garden in 20 years! These beans are the all stars in my garden! So abundant and so tasty! Trust me when I say, if I can grow them, then anyone can!"
Tender long, flat beans without any strings.
"I planted these last year and loved them. Yields a lot of tender, long, flat beans. Delicious as a green bean salad, sautéed as a side dish, or as a main, cooked with crushed tomatoes, potato, garlic, oregano and basil."
