Sow Pole Beans Raadsheer outdoors from mid-May to July, planting seeds about 3 cm deep. Arrange (Tonkin) poles in rows to support the climbing vines, placing 3 to 4 seeds per pole. For hobby greenhouse cultivation, sow seeds in mid-April. Ensure the soil is well-prepared for optimal growth. The vines will climb the poles gracefully, allowing space-efficient planting. Harvest the long, tender stringless pods from August to September, taking care not to let them mature too long on the vine for the best flavor and texture.
