Planting & Growing

Plant in a warm, sunny location after your last frost. Install a sturdy trellis or other vertical support before the vines begin climbing, then guide young growth onto it.

Keep the soil moist during establishment and monitor moisture as plants develop, avoiding waterlogged conditions. A suitable legume inoculant may be used according to its label directions. If plants appear pale, assess growing conditions before applying a low-nitrogen fertilizer as directed.

Harvesting

Pick pods while they are tender, before the beans inside become noticeably swollen. Pod tenderness is a better guide than waiting for every bean to reach its maximum length. Harvest gently to avoid damaging the climbing vines, and use promptly or freeze for later meals.

In the Kitchen

Enjoy these yellow beans steamed, sautéed, stir-fried or roasted as a side dish. Their broad Romano-style pods also suit Italian-inspired pasta dishes and soups.

After the Harvest

When the plants have finished producing, leave the roots in the soil to decompose and contribute organic matter to the next planting.
