How to Sow and Plant
+
Sow processor green bean seeds indoors from mid-April in seed trays or pots, transplanting seedlings outside from mid-May when the risk of frost has passed. For direct sowing, plant seeds outdoors from mid-May to early July in well-prepared rows about 30 cm apart. Sow seeds 2–3 cm deep in fertile, well-drained soil. Space seeds 5–8 cm apart within rows to allow for healthy growth. Regularly water after sowing to ensure good soil moisture for germination. This method supports strong, stringless green bean plants with long, dark green pods throughout the growing season.
Processor green beans thrive in well-drained soil with consistent moisture, benefiting from regular watering to maintain tender pods. They prefer full sun exposure to encourage vigorous growth and abundant yields. Support the low runner plants with stakes or a trellis to keep pods clean and accessible. Remove any yellowing leaves to promote airflow and reduce disease risk. Harvest beans regularly from midsummer to early autumn to encourage continued production of long, stringless, dark green pods that deliver excellent flavor and texture for fresh eating or cooking.
For best results, sow Processor Green Bean seeds indoors from mid-April and transplant outdoors by mid-May, or sow directly outdoors until early July. Plant seeds in rows with sufficient spacing to support their low runner growth. These stringless dark green beans prefer well-drained soil and full sun to thrive. Regular watering and occasional feeding will encourage tender, flavorful pods. Harvest from midsummer through early autumn to enjoy fresh beans at their peak. Supporting the plants with stakes can help maintain airflow and ease picking, ensuring a healthy and abundant crop throughout the season.
