Description

Long, mid green, slightly curved broad pods containing 5-6 large white ‘butter beans’. Pods can be harvested immature but it is usually grown for the full sized seeds for harvesting in the fall.

Sowing Instructions

Sowing time:May to August

These beans require a minimum soil temperature of 68F, so seed sowing must be delayed until these conditions prevail, usually from May in succession to August. Earlier sowings can be made under glass during March and April for earliest crops. Prepare the soil prior to sowing to create a level, weed free bed. Plant seed in rows 20 inches apart with seed stations every 10 inches in the rows. Using a dibber place 3 to 4 seeds at each station 1½-2 inches deep. Cover seeds with soil and firm.

Growing Instructions

Water regularly after sowing and throughout the cropping period. Supporting poles, canes, or netting, at least 180cm tall should be in place before sowing.

Aftercare Instructions

Mulching between rows with straw will conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Continually pick the beans before they become too large and coarse.

Caution

Please note that beans must be cooked before eating to avoid discomfort.
