CROPPING: 115 days

SOWING TIME: February to May

SOWING: Ideally sown in double rows, 2in deep in well prepared soil, 8-9in apart both in the row and between each row. Allow at least 24in between each double row. Germination takes about 10 days.

AFTERCARE: Keep well watered especially when flowering and as pods set. Pinch out growing tip once pods have set to help deter blackfly. Pick regularly as the pods swell and the beans are tasty, soft and tender, and to promote further pod production.
