Tips & Advice:
Sowing Indoors
Sow individual seeds in 8cm pots. of seed and potting compost. Keep the pots in a frost free greenhouse. Ensure the compost remains moist at all times, but not saturated. Gradually accustom the young plant to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting them out to their cropping positions from late May onwards, when the danger of frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants in the row.
Sowing Outdoors
Sow individual seeds 5cm deep and 8cm apart. Dwarf beans are usually down in double rows with 30cm between each row. Each row then supports the other. They will require no further support. Dwarf bean seed is sensitive to cold, wet soils and will not germinate in unfavourable conditions. We therefore recommend you do not sow seed outdoors before May.
Harvest
August - September. Pick the beans when they are young and tender. This encourages plants to remain productive longer.
Freezing
Swarf beans freeze well. Simply blanch them in boiling water for a minute of two, drain, allow to cool, then bag them for the freezer.
