Sowing and Growing Guide
Dwarf Bean Canadian Wonder
Indoor Sowing
- Start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost date.
- Use biodegradable pots or seed trays filled with seed starting mix.
- Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart.
- Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-80°F for germination.
- Once seedlings have developed a couple of sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted outdoors.
Outdoor Sowing
- Directly sow seeds into well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 50°F.
- Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil.
- Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
- Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge.
- Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart once they have developed a few sets of true leaves.
Growing
- Dwarf Bean Slenderette prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil.
- Water consistently, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once a month, or use compost to provide nutrients.
- Support the plants with stakes or a trellis as they grow to keep the pods off the ground and make harvesting easier.
- Harvest beans regularly when they are young and tender, typically around 3-4 inches long.
- Harvesting regularly encourages the plants to produce more beans.
- Rotate bean crops annually to prevent diseases and maintain soil fertility.
