You must pick the beans just as quickly as they mature. They want a sunny, warm location, with good drainage; very little food is necessary. Beans and peas are the best investment a gardener can make, as they give the biggest return for space and time invested. I wish to give the seed growers a pat on the back because they’re all working hard to develop varieties that will resist bugs and diseases and need less water, food, and care??"all for our benefit.
