Seed Information

Qty:	Approx 40 seeds per pack.



Site:	Any, although rich free draining soil is best.



Sow:	Oct-Nov or Feb-Mar



How:	Sow 5cm deep in a double staggered row 20cm apart. If planting another double staggered row plant 50cm apart. If the soil is moist they can be pushed into the ground or alternatively dig a little hole with a hand trowel. Sow a few spare at the end of the row, so these can transplanted if there are some failures. Seedlings will germinate within 7-14 days. Water and keep well watered in dry periods.



Care:	They will need support so build a frame using bamboo canes and netting, and as the beans grow twine them through the netting. When the first beans begin to form, pinch out the top 8cm to encourage the plants energy into forming more pods. This also helps to discourage black-fly who love the tender shoots. Make sure crops are well-watered through out the season. It pays to protect the crop with cloches or similar protection in very cold periods.



Harvest:	Late May to mid July for Autumn sown, 3-4 weeks later for spring sown.
