How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds for 12–24 hours before sowing to improve germination. Direct sow outdoors after the last frost when soil is ≥70°F (21°C) or start indoors 4–6 weeks prior. Sow ½–1 inch deep. Space plants 12–18 inches apart with 24–36 inches between rows for airflow.

How to Grow

Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize at planting and mid-season with compost or balanced fertilizer. Stake tall plants if needed for wind protection.

Tips

Harvest pods when 3–5 inches long for tender texture.

Harvest every 2–3 days to encourage continuous production.

Protect from pests like aphids, flea beetles, and stink bugs using neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Companion planting with peppers, basil, and cucumbers enhances growth.
