WHERE TO SOW Draw out seed drills direct into the growing site 5cm(2in) deep in rows , spacing the seeds 10-15cm (4-6in) apart , spacing rows 60cm (24in) apart. Early spring sowings may benefit from being sown under cloches.
WHAT TO DO NEXT If necessary thin seedlings to 10cm (4in) apart. When the first pods have set pinch out the top 6cm (2 1/2in) to help discourage blackfly. HARVEST once pods become filled with succulent tasty young beans.
