Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season to encourage healthy growth and bountiful harvests.

    For Mountaineer Half-runner beans, it's ideal to harvest when the pods reach about 10 to 12 centimeters in length. At this stage, the beans inside are tender and flavorful. Simply grasp the pods firmly and snap them off the plant, taking care not to damage the vines.
