Hоw to grоw Bean from seeds:
Sowing: Sow the bean seeds 1 week after the last frost in rich, well-drained soil in full sun. Before planting, spray the seeds with a powder inoculator to begin the nitrogen fixation process. Sow seeds 1" deep and 3" apart, in rows 2-3 feet apart. Do not overfill the crop to prevent seeds from rotting in wet soil. Expect germination 7-12 days after planting. Carrots, cucumbers, and corn are good companion plants, but avoid onions.Growing of Bean: Keep the soil moist as legumes have shallow roots for a good harvest. A lаyer of mulch will help retain moisture and keep weeds out.
How and When to Harvest Bean: Ripening occurs ten weeks after germination. Therefore, harvesting daily improves the germination of legumes. Best flavor and more delicate beans are no thicker than a pencil or 4 to 8" long.
Bean's Seed Saving: Allow the beans to dry thoroughly on the vine to a light brown pod. Separate the seeds from the pods. Dry them for storage in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
