PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Sow seed when soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 2 seeds eye down every 4 inches. Soak seeds overnight before planting to speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 4 inches when plants have 4 leaves. Keep watered. Pick vines clean when beans are mature to promote bearing.
PLANTING INFO/DIRECTIONS
Avoid working around beans when wet; this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning.
