• Planting Information:
  When and where to plant: Select sunny location and plant when all danger of frost is past, and the soil has warmed. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize with vegetable food and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed and keep moist. Plant bush types every 3 weeks.
  Care: Support pole beans with stout poles, trellis, string, or wire. Water by soaking soil, to reduce danger of disease.
  Harvesting: Pick regularly when pods are 4-6 inches, before sides bulge.
  Storage: Store seed in cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
