For a continuous harvest, sow in succession every 2-3 weeks. Thin seedlings if necessary to ensure proper spacing.

 

Water regularly especially during dry spells, and harvest beans while they are young and tender to enjoy their finest flavour. Regular picking encourages the plant to produce more pods.
