How to grow

Direct seed 1 inch deep once soil warms to 65 to 85 degrees, with germination in 7 to 10 days. Grow in full sun in well-draining soil and thin to 4 inches apart. Bush beans need no trellis thanks to their upright habit. Pick pods regularly while young and tender to keep plants producing through the extended season.
