WHAT TO DO NEXT
Glasshouse seedlings should be transplanted to the growing site in March, 10cm apart in double rows 20cm apart. Outdoor sowings should be thinned to 10cm apart, the thinnings can be transplanted to make extra rows. When the first Beans form, remove the top 6cm to discourage black fly.
