Cultivation method
Bush bean mix is sown directly in the open ground after the last frost, when the soil is at least 15°C , as these plants do not tolerate cold. Sow the seeds 2-3 cm deep , spacing them 10-15 cm apart, with rows 40 cm apart. Regular but moderate watering is recommended to keep the soil moist without soaking it. Since beans fix nitrogen in the soil, they do not need excessive fertilization. Harvesting begins about 50 days after sowing , and the more you pick, the more the plant continues to produce.
