Climbing Bean 'Hacienda' offers a reliable option for gardeners, producing a generous harvest regardless of weather conditions. The flat, smooth pods reach up to 27cm in length and are slow to develop seeds, resulting in tender, stringless beans full of flavour. Ultimate height: 180cm (70in). Ultimate spread: 30cm (12in). Sowing Information: Sow climbing bean seeds indoors from mid-April for transplanting later, or direct sow outdoors from late May to July. Indoors, sow seeds 2cm (1") deep in 7. 5cm (3") pots or trays of free-draining seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal in a plastic bag at 12-25C (54-77F) until germination, 7-10 days. Keep in light for best results. Once seedlings are large enough, gradually acclimatise them before planting outdoors in rich, fertile, well-drained soil with full sun and protection from strong winds. For direct sowing outdoors, plant 2 seeds per station at 5cm (2") deep, spaced 23cm (9") apart in rows 60cm (24") apart or onto wigwam structures if space is limited. Beans need support from canes, strings, or netting. Hoe between plants, water regularly, and mulch to maintain moisture. Harvest beans regularly while young for the best crops.
