Growing Tips

• Direct sow seeds 1 inch deep, 2 to 3 inches apart, in rows 18 inches apart after the last frost date when soil has warmed to at least 60 degrees F
• Choose a spot with full sun and well-drained soil
• Water consistently at the base of the plant, aiming for about 1 inch per week
• Avoid working around plants when foliage is wet to reduce disease risk
• Begin checking for harvest-ready pods at around 50 days - pick frequently to encourage continued production
• To save seeds for next season, allow a few pods to dry fully on the plant before collecting
