Early sowings in pots in the greenhouse or under cloches in the growing site. Later sowings direct into the growing site 5cm (2") deep in rows 60cm (24") apart.

Glasshouse seedlings should be transplanted to the growing site in March, 10cm (4") apart in rows 60cm (24") apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 10cm (4") apart, the thinning's can be transplanted to make extra rows. When the first beans form, remove the top 6cm (3") to discourage black fly.
