Produces a profusion of relatively small, stringless pods which may be cooked , or frozen, whole. The flavour is excellent - a bean we recommend very highly.
When to plant: Spring and Summer How to grow: Sow 25mm (1in) deep in dark damp soil - avoid watering for a day or two afterwards. Sow 10-15cm (4-6in) apart allowing 50-60cm (1.5-2ft) between rows. Ensure the danger of frosts has passed and protect plants from wind. Plant in 1-3m (3-10ft) rows and remove weeds regularly. Keep the roots cool - a mulch of garden compost will help considerably. Water well in dry periods. Harvest: Around 8-10 weeks after sowing.
