DIRECT SEEDING:
Sow in average soil in a sunny location after danger of frost and soil has warmed, from spring to midsummer. Firm lightly. Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days. For pole beans, sow seeds 2" deep and 3" apart in a row along a trellis, netting or fence. Or set poles solidly into ground 2-3' apart and sow 6-8 beans 2" deep around each pole.
HARVEST:
Beans can be harvested in around 60-75 days. Pick beans often to keep plants productive. Harvest when pods swell and show bulges from the beans inside. The ideal is 1/4" thick and 4-8" long. Purple beans will turn green after two minutes of cooking. Pods are best eaten while tender but mature pods can be shelled for beans.

STORAGE:
Dry the beans completely and store in a cool, dry container for several months.
