- When seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be planted out 12" (30cm) apart in your desired location.
- Harden off first.
Outdoor Planting:
- Sow seeds 5cm deep direct in growing bed keeping 6" (15cm) between each seed.

- Keep the soil moist.
- The Beans will need support as they grow, netting or canes are ideal.
- Pick the pods regularly to extend the harvest period.
