A reliable warm season standby for beds and large pots, and quick enough that a spring sowing has beans on the table by early summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow seeds direct about 25mm deep where they are to grow, as beans do not transplant well. Do not pre-soak the seed. Germination takes 6 to 10 days once the soil is above 16°C. Space seeds 10 to 15cm apart in rows 40 to 50cm apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to Sow - Australian Climate Zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCool \u0026amp; Mountain:\u003c\/strong\u003e November to January\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperate:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to February\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubtropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to April and July to September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTropical:\u003c\/strong\u003e April to August (dry season)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArid \u0026amp; Semi-arid:\u003c\/strong\u003e September to November and February to March\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in free draining soil. Beans fix their own nitrogen, so avoid high nitrogen feeds which give you leaf at the expense of pods. Water steadily once flowering starts and water at soil level rather than over the foliage.
