Sow seeds when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 2 seeds every 4 inches. Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 4 inches when the plants have 4 leaves. Pick early and often to encourage production. Sow every 2 weeks until 8 weeks before fall frost.
Planting Depth: 1 - 1.5"
Seed Spacing: Sow Blue Lake Stringless Beans seeds roughly 4" apart in rows keeping rows approximately 20" apart.
Nutrient Care Instructions: Apply SUPERthrive once per week. Soak in solution of 1/4 tsp per gal for 15 min. or longer depending on size and type.
Avoid working around beans when wet; this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning.

"I planted these pole beans and they have grown like crazy. Probably almost 5 ft tall. As of yet they still do not have even one blossom . I have bush beans that I planted at the same time and have been eating them for a few weeks. I am in Omaha Ne. And this is the season for beans. Can you tell me why these pole beans are not producing any beans. They have taken up my garden space for nothing. Yours truly Barbara Priefert"

"We grew Ferry-Morse Blue lake stringless pole beans FM1K this year and they were amazing!! We have a large arched trellis planting 5-beans per side and they completely enclosed it producing many-many long beautiful & delicious beans!! We harvested everyday and after eating our fill canning & freezing enough for the next year we started giving them away. Everyone loved the taste and texture so they started canning too. Super easy to grow"
