Organic French Garden Green Bush Bean Seeds

French Garden Beans produce compact bushes that produce excellent yields. This type is a very early variety and should produce beans about 50 days after planting. The beans are dark green, straight pods about 6" long, and are tender and sweet. The seeds were originally from France, and the seeds are white in color. 25 seeds. Non-GMO

Sowing: Direct sow organic French Garden Green bean bush seeds outside at least 1 week after the last frost, since beans are quite sensitive to cold. They should be planted in rich, well drained soil with full sun exposure. If you have never planted beans in your garden before, treat the seeds with a powder inoculant to allow the process of nitrogen fixation to begin. Sow the seeds 1" deep and 3" apart, in rows 2'-3' apart, and press down the earth above them for good soil contact. These organic French Garden Green bean bush seeds rot easily in wet soil, so do not over water them. Germination should take place 7-12 days after planting. For companion planting benefits, plant bush beans near carrots, cucumbers, or corn; avoid planting them near onions.

Growing: After germination, maintain soil moisture; beans have shallow roots, and need water at least once a week if the weather is dry. Mulching the plants helps conserve moisture and discourages weeds.
