French Beans started off

Friday 10th May

French Beans started off about 

a month ago in cold frame 

planted out today under cover.

--------------

DWARF GREEN BEAN SPRITE

--------------

A medium to early maturing 

pencil podded variety producing 

good yields of mid-green string-less beans

(14cm) on dwarf plants requiring no staking.

  Resistant to BCMV.

--------------

• For an early crop sow in warmth in mid spring 6 weeks before the last expected frost in your area.
• Sow seeds individually in 7.5cm (3in) pots at 18-21C (65-70F). Otherwise sow outdoors 4-6 in between seeds when the soil has warmed during late spring after all danger of frost as they are sensitive to low soil temperatures.
• Keep weed free and protect from pests whilst young.
• Plants do not require support.
• Harvest as pods are ripe, the plants should continue to flower if picked steadily.
