WHERE TO SOW
Early sowings in pots in the greenhouse or under cloches in the growing site. Later sowings direct into the growing site 5cm (2”) deep in rows 60cm (24”) apart.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Glasshouse seedlings should be transplanted to the growing site in March, 10cm (4”) apart in rows 60cm (24”) apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 10cm (4”) apart, the thinnings can be transplanted to make extra rows. When the first beans form, remove the top 6cm (3”) to discourage black fly.
HANDY TIP
Usually grown from a Spring sowing but in most years is successful from an early November sowing for a June crop.
