WHERE TO SOW
Draw out seed drills direct into the growing site 5cm(2in) deep in rows , pacing 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.
