How to grow
Grow as you would other beans. Fast growing tender annuals, plant in full sun in a soil enriched with organic matter witha pH between 5.5-7.5. Sow seed direct when soil temperature is between 16-29 degrees C and there is no likelihood of frost. Stake at sowing. Seed should germinate within 6-15 days and seedlings should be protected from snails and slugs. Water regularly and when plants start cropping, pick daily to maximise your harvest.
