You can plant Garden Contender Bush Beans seeds outdoors when the soil is warm and all danger of frost is past. Plant 2 seeds every 4". Soaking seeds overnight before planting will speed germination. Thin to 1 plant every 4" when the plants have four leaves. Pick early and often to encourage growth.
Planting Depth: 1"-1.5"
Seed Spacing: Sow Garden Contender Bush Beans seeds roughly 4" apart in rows.
Avoid working around beans when wet as this may spread diseases. When weeding, hoe gently because beans are shallow-rooted. Mulch plants only after thinning.
