Seed Spacing: Sow Organic Garden Pole Kentucky Wonder Bean seeds roughly 8" apart in rows, keeping each row approximately 3' 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.

"About 90% of the seeds did not even germinate. Contacted customer service and they quickly sent a new pack. Of the new pack about 80% germinated. We're eating the beans now and they're great: wonderful flavor and stringless!"
"Planted and had 100% germination rate on 16 seeds. However, birds seem to love to kill the seedlings growing on the corner of the beds. I replanted multiple times all, with the same fate, great germination rate, but birds! Once they survived passed the seedling/bird stage they took off and are currently over 7 foot tall on my arch trellis late June 2026."
"The seeds were very good and easy to plant."
"These did not come in early enough to plant for the season, but seeds were wonderful, and the future farmer is hopeful for a bountiful harvest this upcoming season."
"We planted them a little late in the season, but we got a pretty good plant started, and the others didn't make it. This is my fault due to just learning how to garden. I haven't seen any bugs on them and haven't had to spray with pesticides. They should be ready in the next few weeks!"
"I was very excited to plant and harvest, however, I'm still holding off as I jad to move this year. But I've also purchased other seeds from this company and looking forward to a bountiful garden in the spring!"
"These seeds produced a delicious yield of beans. They weren't really any more or less pest resistant than my other vegetable plants, but they grew well."
"The bean seeds I received were very large and easy to sow in soil. It was all a very easy process and I noticed that the seeds had sprouted only a few days after I put them in soil. The package does say it’s about 66 days to harvest so I have a ways to go before they actually produce anything."
"We love these seeds. They are pretty fool-proof to grow. They are easy climbers and heavy producers. They taste great and rarely need help keeping the bugs away. Highly recommend."
"These organic beans grew so fast and they all germinated and they were all healthy plants! I actually have a lot of beans picked already! How exciting! The flavor is amazing, of course there’s nothing like fresh green beans anyway!! Good on pesto resistance too! Hardly had little to none!"
