PLANTING

Vigna unguiculata

Germination:4-10 days

Germination Temperature:Optimum soil temperatures are 75-85F

Seed Sowing Depth:1 deep

Outside Sowing:After the last frost with soil temperatures above 70F. Sow 3- 4 apart for trellis/pole growth. Planting in soil under 60F results in poor germination.

How much does a packet plant:10-12 foot single row

Harvest:Before the seeds bulge and beans snap easily. Pick continually every 2-3 days to prolong production.

Tips:Grow in light, well-drained soil, provide adequate, even moisture, especially at flowering time. Dry soil can result in low yields and fibrous pods. Do not over-fertilize the Red Noodle Yard Long Bean with nitrogen, which results in a surplus of foliage and low, delayed pod growth.
