Harden off indoor sown plants then transfer to large pots (min 30cm/12" diameter) spacing the plants at least 17.5cm/7" apart around the edge of the pot. Support each plant with a tall sturdy cane (6ft) and tie the tops of the canes together to form a wigwam effect.

Growing on- in ground

As above but space the plants 22cm/9" apart in rows 45cm/18" apart , tying the tops of the canes together.

Aftercare

Pinch off the tops of each plant once they reach the tops of the canes. Liquid feed from time to time through the cropping season..

Harvesting

Cut pods regularly at approx 15-20cm/6-8", before the beans start to swell. Crops over a period of about 8 weeks Do not allow seeds to ripen as this stops pod production.
