Recommended sowing period: May to July. The depth to respect is 2.5 to 4 cm (1 to 1.6 in). Emergence usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the potting soil at 18 to 30 °C (64 to 86 °F). Direct sowing of peas, fava beans, and green beans preserves their root system. Prepare the locations and supports for climbing varieties before emergence. Do not let the seeds sit in waterlogged soil. Identify each row to distinguish between types harvested for pods and those for seeds.

Organize legumes according to their growth habit. Dwarf forms are easily harvested in rows accessible from both sides; climbing forms need support anchored before the foliage becomes heavy.

Growing method

Recommended sowing period: May to July. The recommended depth is 2.5 to 4 cm (1 to 1.6 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 30 °C (64 to 86 °F). Direct sowing of peas, fava beans, and beans preserves their root system. Prepare the locations and supports for climbing varieties before emergence. Do not let seeds sit in waterlogged soil. Identify each row to distinguish between podded types and those intended for seeds. Thin out only when emergence shows real competition between young plants. Pick pods by supporting the stem with one hand to avoid tearing off ramifications. Young harvests require frequent passes, while seeds intended for drying remain on the plant longer. Avoid handling foliage when wet. For climbing forms, guide the first shoots and ensure the stems do not wrap around neighboring crops. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the plant type. Picking outer leaves preserves the heart when you want to continue production.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Care level

Regular during establishment, then adapted to cultivation conditions

Watering

Regular

Soil type

Well-drained and warm

Fertilization

Fertilization supports growth and takes into account the nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suited to the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where the roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe the foliage development before re-fertilizing.

Moisture

Keep the potting mix moist during germination, without standing water; then adjust according to the crop.

Seasonal care

With its bright golden-yellow pods, *Phaseolus vulgaris* var. *nana* adds a lively and warm touch to the vegetable garden, while offering an abundant harvest on compact, upright plants. Direct sowing of peas, broad beans, and green beans protects their root system. Prepare the locations and supports for climbing varieties before emergence. Do not let the seeds sit in waterlogged soil. Identify each row to distinguish pod-harvested types from those intended for seeds. Thin only when emergence shows real competition between young plants. Pick the pods by supporting the stem with one hand to avoid tearing off the branches. Young harvests require frequent visits, while seeds intended for drying remain on the plant longer. Avoid handling the foliage when it is wet. For climbing forms, guide the first shoots and ensure that the stems do not entwine themselves around neighboring crops. Leafy vegetables require harvesting adjusted to the type of plant. An outer harvest preserves the heart when you want to continue production. Very old leaves do not have the same tenderness as young shoots. Rinse the harvest just before use or dry it carefully before a short stay in the refrigerator. Its tender, stringless texture and delicate flavor make it a highly prized vegetable in cooking, especially when picked young, still thin, and subtly shaded with green. Recommended sowing period: May to July.

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

In a diverse plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: corn, carrots, beets. The association here serves to organize space and harvests. Respect the height, light, and water needs of each plant, without crowding the foliage. Maintain a pathway for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance but does not promise protection against pests. Organize legumes according to their growth habit. Dwarf varieties are easily harvested in rows accessible from both sides; climbing varieties need support anchored before the foliage becomes heavy.

Edible parts

Pods or seeds depending on the harvest stage

Cooking idea with 'Beurre de Rocquencourt' dwarf beans: sautéed pods for four servings. Top and tail 400 g of young, tender pods, removing any strings. Boil in water until tender, then drain. For beans, allow about eight to ten minutes; snow peas require less cooking time. Reheat in a pan with 15 ml of oil, one minced garlic clove, and a few drops of lemon juice. Season to taste and serve hot. Choose pods that are still pliable, before they become fibrous. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adapt the cutting to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove any damaged pieces before preparation. If doubling the quantities, ensure enough space in the dish for even mixing or cooking. Quickly place leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply divide all quantities by two.
