Planting Instructions:

 

Soil Preparation:

Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.
 

Planting:

In the Spring, plant beans after all danger of frost has passed. In the Fall, plant beans 10 to 12 weeks before the first expected frost. Plant beans 1 inch deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced 2 feet apart. Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly. 


Planting Depth: 1 inch
Within-Row Spacing:
 4 inches
Between-Row Spacing:
 2 feet

 

Care During the Season:

Watering: Water the plants about once a week in dry weather. Try not to let the soil dry out while the beans are blooming or the blooms will drop and yields will be decreased.

Weeding: The roots of beans grow near the soil surface. When hoeing and pulling weeds, try not to dig too deep to prevent the plant's roots from damage.

Fertilizing: As the plants begin to flower and set beans, you may optionally apply fertilizer to help plants produce more beans. Apply by scattering between the rows about 1/2 cup of fertilizer for every 10 feet of row. Water the plants after fertilizing.

Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions.

Diseases: Diseases may be a possibility during cool, wet weather. If spots appear on leaves or bean pods, treat the plant with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used.
 

Harvesting:

Pick yard long beans when they are young, about 10-14 inches long and as thick as a pencil for best taste. If yard beans are picked, the plants will continue producing for several weeks. Pick every 3-5 days to prolong production. Yard beans are over-mature if they are tough, dry, fading in color, or stringy. Fresh yard long beans can be frozen or stored in a refrigerator for a week.
