Planting Information: Remember not to plant all your seeds at once! Soak the seeds in filtered or distilled water for 12 to 24 hours prior to planting. Sow 1” deep, giving each plant 1 sq. ft. of space. Pick individual pods when the green shell beans inside are plump. For dry beans, wait until pods are dry. Avoid planting beans in the same space two seasons in a row. 6-8 Seeds.
