The main sowing period is March and April. Sow in February under cloches for an earlier crop; sow in May to extend the crop throughout the summer months and into autumn. Sow 5cm (2”) deep and 20cm (8”)
apart in double rows, with the rows 20cm (8”) apart.
Place a stout stake at each corner of the double row and run string around the stakes at 30cm (1ft) intervals.
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, but don't leave them too long - the scar on the bean should still be white or
green - not black.
