Growing Beans

Well tended beans are a highly productive crop. Kept watered and picked regularly, one of our generous packets of green bean seeds will provide 20 plus pounds of beans over a season. Canned, pickled or frozen, they are easy to put up for winter.

Plant 1″ to 2″ deep, 1″ to 3″ apart, in rows 20″ apart, when danger of frost is over. Control weeds with mulching or cultivation until blossoming season. Beans need the most water when blooming and setting fruit. If allowed to dry out, beans will be tough and stringy. Pick young, tender beans frequently, about once a week, to insure the best quality.

One pound of bean seeds will plant a 100 foot row and sixty pounds of seed will plant an acre. Our packets are 1/3rd cup, or nearly 2 ounces.
