Planting Details
| Row Spacing | 24" |
|---|---|
| Seed Depth | 1" |
| Seed Spacing | 1 seeds every 4" to 6" |
| Thinning | Not required |
| Germination | 6–12 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 80 days before your average first fall frost date. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, skip sowing as high heat approaches; temperatures consistently above 90°F will prevent beans from forming. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when the seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold the stem with one hand, and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free. |

- Casey M.ID, United StatesVerified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars7/13/26Fantastic producer
I have these, Gold Rush and Provider planted this year, and these are the top performer. Tons of beans, they taste great, and the blossoms are also beautiful. I am definitely planting these again next year! In ground, high desert zone 6b/7a.

The two packets that I bought never came up after multiple tries. I have never had problems like this in 10 years of growing beans in the past.
