Sowing:

French beans are sub-tropical in origin and therefore highly susceptible to frost damage. If a late frost does catch seedlings the only option is to remove them and re-sow. Germination rates for all French beans are about 80% therefore sow seeds approximately every 15cm, in 5cm deep pre-watered drills. When the seedlings emerge, thin them out to about 1

Handy Tip

  • A good tip is to sow two seeds in the last position on each row, meaning you have additional seedlings to fill in any gaps. A second tip, is don't pre-soak the beans as this encourages pest attack and reduces germination rates.
  • Nutritional Value A good source of Pro-vitamin A, Vitamin K and Folic acid.
  • Keep well watered and weeded (both tasks can be reduced by surrounding the plants with an organic mulch).
  • Dwarf French beans can manage with short bamboo poles or sticks to scramble up

Companion Plants: Potato, Cucumber, Maize, Strawberry, Celery, Summer Savory. Avoid Onion

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers.

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
