Strike Bush Green Bean Seeds

Sowing: Begin by planting Strike Bush Green Bean Seeds directly in the garden once the soil has warmed up to at least 15°C (60°F) in spring. Plant the seeds about 2-3 centimeters deep and space them 8-10 centimeters apart in rows that are spaced about 45-60 centimeters apart. Ensure the soil is well-drained and receives full sunlight for optimal growth.

Growing: Maintain soil moisture consistently throughout the growing season, avoiding waterlogging. Water the plants regularly, particularly during dry spells. Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth. If necessary, provide support for the plants to prevent sprawling on the ground as they grow. Keep an eye out like aphids or bean beetles and employ appropriate. Apply a balanced fertilizer following package instructions to promote healthy growth and maximize yields. Harvest the beans when they are young and tender, usually about 50-60 days after sowing. Continuously harvest the beans to stimulate the production of new pods and extend the harvest period.

Harvesting Strike Bush Green Bean Seeds is ideal when the beans are young and tender, usually around 10 to 15 centimeters in length. Monitor the plants regularly once they start bearing beans, as they can become overripe if left on the vine too long. To harvest, gently grip the bean between your fingers and snap it off the vine. Harvest beans regularly to stimulate ongoing production during the growing period. Avoid picking beans that are overly mature or stringy, as they may have a tough texture and less flavor.

To preserve Strike Bush Green Bean Seeds for future planting, allow some of the bean pods to fully mature on the plant until they become dry and brown. Once the pods are completely dry, carefully detach them from the plant. Open the pods and collect the seeds from inside. It's crucial to ensure that the seeds are completely dry before storing them to prevent mold or decay. Spread the seeds out in a single layer on a tray or paper towel and let them air dry fully for about two weeks in a warm, well-ventilated area. Once dried, store the seeds in a cool, dry place in a sealed container until you're ready to plant them in the next growing season. Properly stored Strike Bush Green Bean Seeds can remain viable for several years.
