GROWING TIPS

Start seed outdoors after danger of frost has passed, usually 1-2 weeks after average last frost date. Inoculating seeds w/ nitrogen fixing-bacteria may increase yields in areas newly planted in beans. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Wait until air & soil has warmed up in the spring. Seeds planted in cold soil can germinate slowly and rot. Bush beans usually provide one large harvest, with a 2nd smaller harvest a few weeks later. Can be planted again in mid-late summer for an autumn harvest.
