How do you sow runner beans successfully outdoors?
To grow runner beans outdoors, it is best to sow in spring, when the risk of frost has passed. Before sowing, it's important to prepare the soil by weeding and working it deeply so that it's well aerated. Beans like a soil rich in organic matter, so don't hesitate to add compost.
To sow, plant the seeds about 3-5 cm deep and about 10-15 cm apart. Be sure to water the soil well after sowing, but avoid excess water so as not to cause the seeds to rot.
Spanish beans need a sunny position to grow well. Be sure to protect them from strong winds by installing them near a support on which they can climb.
Monitor regularly for the appearance of pests, such as aphids, and remove them by hand if necessary. By following these tips, you'll be able to harvest tasty, healthy beans for your summer meals.
