Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation: Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area.

Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools.

Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.

Planting: In the Spring, plant beans after all danger of frost has passed. In the Fall, plant beans 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost.

For large plots, use ¼ to ½ pound of seed for each 100 feet of row of green beans.

Plant bush beans 1 inch deep and 1 to 2 inches apart in the rows that are 2½ to 3 feet apart.

Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly.

After the beans have sprouted, thin the plants to 3-4 inches apart.

Planting Depth: 1 inch

Within-Row Spacing: 1-2 inches, thin to 3-4 inches

Between-Row Spacing: 2 1/2-3 feet

Care During the Season: Watering: Water the plants about once a week in dry weather.

Try not to let the soil dry out while the beans are blooming or the blooms will drop and yields will be decreased. Weeding: The roots of beans grow near the soil surface.

When hoeing and pulling weeds, try not to dig too deep to prevent the plant’s roots from damage.

Fertilizing: As the plants begin to flower and set beans, you may optionally apply fertilizer to help plants produce more beans.

Spread the fertilizer throughout the rows as far as 1 2 cups of poo per 10 feet of row. Wait until you obtain watered and spray the insecticide afterward. Bt-based insecticides and organic sulfur are sturdy options. Sulfur also offers fungicidal properties and helps in dealing with many diseases.

Before using a pesticide, read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: Diseases may be a possibility during cool, wet weather.

If spots appear on leaves or bean pods, treat the plant with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used.

Harvesting: Pick beans when they are about 6 inches long and as thick as a pencil for best taste. If beans are picked, the plants will continue producing for several weeks.

Beans are over-mature if they are tough, dry, fading in color, or stringy.

Fresh beans can be frozen or stored in a refrigerator for a week.
