For best results, direct-sow bean seeds in spring once the soil has warmed and after your last frost date. Plant seeds about 1.5 inches (3.5 cm) deep, spacing them approximately 2-3 inches (7.5 cm) apart with rows 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart. Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically occurs in 5-10 days.
To boost yield, provide consistent, even watering throughout the season, particularly during flowering and pod production. Following these steps will help ensure a healthy, productive bean crop.
