Beans
- Main article Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Only sow when there's no danger anymore for frost or night frost. For the region where i have my garden (temperate climate, northern hemisphere) this is after May 15. You can sow until half July, depending on the species. Don't add fresh manure to the soil, but beans like a humus-rich soil so you can add some old compost or saw dust to prevent the beans from rotting.
Beans like full sun.
Sow the beans 7 per stick or group of plants and keep the five best of them. Cover the seeds with ca 2 cm of moist soil.danger of night frost has passed. No manure, a lot of sawdust to the soil lightly to keep from rotting. Sow beans 7 per stick and keep it on 5 of. Cover the seeds with about 2 cm moist soil.
