Sow directly in place, 2 to 3 cm deep, at 8 cm intervals, in rows 40 cm apart, or in stacks of 3 to 5 seeds, 40 cm apart in all directions. Plant 3 weeks after emergence. In mild climates, sow as early as April.
Water regularly in dry weather to keep pods tender. Picked before the seeds have formed, pods can be eaten whole. To enjoy fresh or semi-dry beans, harvest the pods as they begin to yellow. To eat them dry, wait for the pods to dry completely.
