Tips & Advice:

Sowing Indoors

Sow individually in clean pots or modules of compost, 5cm deep. Water well. Keep on a warm windowsill or in a propagator, maintaining a minimum temperature of 12°C.

Growing On/Planting Out

Slowly acclimatise to outdoor conditions before planting out in May-June when the risk of frost has passed, 15-20cm apart in full sun, in soil with added organic matter. Climbing beans require support with a double row of canes, 1.8m tall with 45cm between rows. Keep soil moist at all times.

Sowing Outdoors

Sow direct into the required harvest location, 5cm deep, 15-20cm apart. Support with canes, as with planting out indoor-sown beans. If planting in containers, choose one at least 75cm in diameter, such as a half-barrel.

Advice

Put supporting canes in place before planting out or direct sowing. Pick regularly once the beans are about 10cm long and snap easily. Climbing beans harvest over a longer period than dwarf beans.
