Planting and Care Instructions (From this Label)

Plant in loose soil after the last frost date. Don't plant too early, as cold, moist soil will delay germination and could cause the seeds to rot. Water lightly; but evenly. Leaves can become afflicted with disease if made wet, so water as close to the root as possible. If a leaf becomes diseased, remove it immediately to prevent spread. Harvest 3-5" beans in the morning when their sugar level is highest. Leaving mature beans on the plant can stop or slow production. These beans can be kept fresh for about 4 days, or blanched and frozen immediately after harvesting. They're also delicious canned or pickled! Sow every 2-3 weeks for continued harvests throughout the season.
