& Dwarf Bean Boston 1 Seed Packet

This Green Bean bears long, cylidrincal pods which grow to up to 15cm (6"). Dwarf Bean 'Boston' has dark green beans and a delicious flavour. They produce heavy crops that can be harvested from June to October. Sow dwarf bean seeds indoors from mid April for transplanting later on, or direct sow outdoors from late May to July. Indoors, sow bean seeds at a depth of 5cm (2") in 7.5cm (3") pots or trays of free-draining, seed sowing compost. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag at a temperature of 12-25C (54-77F) until germination, which takes 7-10 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination. Once germinated, grow on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and the dwarf French bean plants are large enough to be transplanted. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting French beans outdoors in rich fertile, well drained soil in full sun with protection from strong winds. When growing beans, hoe between plants often and water regularly. Provide a compost mulch around the base of bean plants to combat dry periods. For the best crops harvest beans regularly while the pods are still young. Culinary note: Suitable for freezing. Caution: Cook dwarf beans before eating to avoid discomfort. Product Specifications: .
