THINNING…When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to 3 inches apart.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 6 to 10 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
REMARKS…For best crop, keep free of weeds. To prevent spread of disease, do not hoe when wet. For highest quality and yield pick pods frequently. For dried use allow pods to mature and change color. Make successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until mid-summer.Share
