Sow late October-November, 5cm (2”) deep, in double rows 30cm (12”) apart allowing 25cm (9”) between seeds. Cloches can provide extra protection from severe weather.
Pinch out the tops of
plants when bottom pods are 7-10cm (3-4”) long - this will encourage an earlier crop of well filled pods.
Harvest from late May/June onwards
Pick pods when they are 7.5cm (3”) long and cook
them whole. But when picking pods to shell wait until the beans start to be visible through the pod,- the scar on the bean should still be white or green - not black.
