(approx. 110-125 seeds) PLANTING Phaseolus vulgaris Germination: 4-10 days Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures are 70-85ºF Seed Sowing Depth: 1” deep Outside Sowing: After the last frost with soil temperatures above 60ºF. Sow 2-3” apart. Planting in soil under 60ºF results in poor germination. How much does a packet plant: 25-foot single row Harvest: Before the seeds bulge and beans snap easily. Pick continually every 2-3 days to prolong production. Tips: Grow in light, well-drained soil, and provide adequate, even moisture, especially at flowering time. Dry soil can result in low yields and fibrous pods. Do not over-fertilize Carson Bush Bean with nitrogen, which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth. Adding inoculant at planting time aids in a larger harvest and more robust plants. Sow a few times a season, 3-4 weeks apart for a continuous harvest.
