When to Sow Dior Dwarf French Bean Seeds

April to end of June

Where to Sow

Early sowings can be made under glass at a temperature of 16 C, sow into 8cm (3in) pots or modular trays filled with seed sowing compost. Outside sowings can be made from May onwards into the growing site 5cm (2in) deep. Sow 2-3 seeds every 20cm (8in) apart with rows spaced 45cm (18in) apart. 

What to do next

Seedlings sown under glass should be gradually hardened off before planting outside in late May to the above spacing, once all risk of frost has past. Direct sown seedlings can be thinned out as required. Water regularly during dry weather. 

Harvest

July to September 

Handy Tip

Harvest regularly when young and keep a high moisture level around the roots as soon as pods start to develop.
