How to Grow Black Turtle Bean Seeds

1. Soil Preparation

Prepare well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Adding compost or aged manure improves soil structure and provides essential nutrients for healthy plants.

2. Planting Instructions

• Direct Sowing: Plant seeds outdoors after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F.

• Sowing Depth: Plant seeds 1 inch deep in loose, well-aerated soil.

• Spacing: Space plants 4-6 inches apart, with rows 18-24 inches apart.

• Watering: Keep soil moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

3. Care and Maintenance

• Sunlight: Requires full sun (at least 6-8 hours daily).

• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Fertilizing: Use a balanced organic fertilizer to support healthy growth.

• Pest Control: Protect from aphids and bean beetles using neem oil or natural predators.

4. Harvesting Black Turtle Beans

Harvest Black Turtle Beans when the pods fully mature and dry on the plant. Beans should be hard and black before shelling. Allow pods to dry on the plant, then collect and store the beans in a cool, dry place.
