Sowing The Seeds Beans are not fond of being transplanted and are best established directly outdoors when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed. If they are started indoors the use of peat pots may be beneficial to prevent root shock when transplanting. Work through your sowing area to remove all unwanted plant life and weeds. Sow the seeds at a depth of 1” under topsoil. Growing Conditions Beans will require an area of full sunlight for the majority of the day. The plants will thrive in temperatures of at least 65F and require a soil that is fertile and rich in organic matter. You must also make sure that your sowing medium is well drained as well. Adding a light compost to any areas containing hard compact soil will improve your overall drainage. Water the seeds daily until germination occurs.

The plants will reach a mature height of roughly 18 to 24 inches tall and can spread about 12 to 24 inches wide.
