Cultivation method:
Beans prefer a light, organic, well-drained soil with a pH of about 6.5. Sow seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep and space them 3 inches (8 cm) apart in rows 18 to 28 inches (45 to 70 cm) apart. Do not sow until the soil has warmed to at least 60 degrees F (16°C). For a continuous harvest, sow every 10 days until mid-July. Water evenly, especially during flowering and pod formation. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers and handle plants only when leaves are dry to prevent disease. Germination occurs in about 8 days.
