How To Grow

Start by sowing Greencrop bush green bean seeds directly into well-draining soil that has been enriched with compost or organic matter. Plant the seeds about 2-3 centimeters deep and space them approximately 10-15 centimeters apart in rows that are about 45-60 centimeters apart. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season, especially during dry periods. Greencrop bush green beans prefer full sun and thrive in temperatures between 18-24 degrees Celsius. Provide support such as stakes or a trellis for the plants to climb as they grow, and regularly remove any weeds that compete for nutrients and water. With proper care, you can expect to harvest fresh, delicious green beans in about 50-60 days after planting.

Harvesting

When harvesting Greencrop bush green beans, look for pods that are firm, crisp, and bright green in color. Harvesting should typically begin when the pods are about 10-15 centimeters long, which is usually around 50-60 days after planting. Use a sharp pair of scissors or garden shears to carefully cut the pods from the plant, being mindful not to damage the vines. Regular harvesting encourages the plant to produce more beans, so be sure to check the plants every few days during the harvesting period.

Seed Saving

To save seeds from Greencrop bush green beans, allow a few pods to fully mature and dry on the vine at the end of the growing season. Once the pods have turned brown and are completely dry, carefully remove them from the plant and open them to extract the seeds. Place the seeds in a dry, well-ventilated area to further dry for a few weeks. Once fully dry, store the seeds in a cool, dark place in an airtight container until the next planting season.
