Use a good quality compost to sow in pots or trays on a windowsill or in a greenhouse. Cover seeds with 25mm compost. Germination takes 7-14 days. Grow on, planting outside or protecting with cloches until frost risk has passed, 20cm between plants. Alternatively, sow directly into prepared, warm, moist soil at a depth of 38mm, thinning to 20cm between plants as needed. Allow for a space of 60cm between rows. Grows best in rich soil in a sunny position, pods well held above soil. If picked daily and kept well watered during dry weather, it will produce slim beans for a long time. 9-12 weeks from planting to harvesting.
