Regular harvesting of the young pods will ensure a greater yield. Grows best in full sun with well watered soil. Boost yields and germination by adding inoculants.
Make sure to provide adequate support for these vigorous climbers! A strong fence or twine hung on a strong pole will give them plenty of room to grow and good harvest yields.
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or over watering and possibly having them rot.
