  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Sow directly where they are to grow and remember that your beans will need support, so plant them near a fence or create a trellis to support them.

    How to Harvest

    It is best to harvest beans once the pods are about the thickness of a pencil. Harvest daily to increase production and try to eat or preserve immediately to enjoy the best flavour.

    Never sprouted

    I draw your attention : seeds never ever sprouted. I’d appreciate a new batch. Seeds I purchased from SOP last year never sprouted also. All seeds from boondie or the seed collection sprout. SoPignored my complaint last year. I only bought from them because the other two shops were out of those seeds, but a waste of money and effort. Mel
