⬇️ Keep picking those pods 🙂

Answering some French bean questions from new growers. Hope this helps!

❓ When to sow French Beans?
French beans are sown between May and June for climbing beans and May and July for dwarf varieties.

❓ When to harvest?
The beans of both will be ready to pick approximately 10-12 weeks after sowing and will continue to produce new beans for 6-10 weeks depending on the weather (yield tends to be lower when it's hot and dry).

❓ Regular harvest?
Bear in mind that regular harvesting forces the plant to produce new flowers (followed by new beans) so, to achieve the highest yield, pick new pods twice a week.

French beans are best harvested when the beans are still very small as it is the tender pods we are interested in. If the beans are allowed to mature on the plants, the pods become tough and stringy (a process that only takes a few days).

❓ Growing for dried beans.
Some varieties of French bean (e.g. Borlotta beans) are grown for dried beans so are left on the vines until the pods are dry and papery when the beans inside have hardened.
