Planting and Growing Instructions

Contender Bush Beans are easy to grow and thrive in a variety of conditions. Follow these simple steps to get started:

1. Soil Preparation
   Beans prefer well-drained, fertile soil. Mix in organic compost to improve soil fertility and ensure good drainage. Beans grow best in a neutral to slightly acidic soil pH of around 6.0-7.0.

2. Planting
   Sow the seeds about 1 inch deep in the soil, and space them 1-2 inches apart in rows that are about 18 inches apart. Beans prefer to be planted directly in the ground, as they don’t transplant well. Plant them after the danger of frost has passed and when the soil has warmed to about 60°F (15°C).

3. Watering
   Beans need regular watering, especially during dry spells. However, avoid over-watering as it can cause root rot. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and water at the base of the plants to prevent wetting the foliage.

4. Support and Maintenance
   Contender Bush Beans don’t require a trellis or staking, as they are a bush variety. However, it’s important to provide plenty of space for air circulation. Remove weeds around the plants regularly to prevent competition for nutrients.

5. Harvesting
   Harvest Contender Bush Beans when the pods are about 6 inches long and the beans inside are plump. Use scissors or garden shears to cut the pods from the plants. Be sure to harvest the beans while they are still tender for the best flavor.
