Beans have a distinct dislike for cold, wet soils, so sow seeds only after the soil has warmed to at least 16°C.

Planting: Sow seeds 2.5 cm deep and 8 cm apart in rows spaced 45 to 70 cm apart. For a continuous harvest, make successive sowings every 10 days until mid-July.

Care: Keep the soil evenly watered, particularly when the plants are in flower and starting to produce pods. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can promote excessive foliage. To reduce the risk of disease, avoid disturbing the plants when leaves are damp. Germination occurs in approximately 8 days.

Golden Wax has earned its reputation as a best seller by consistently providing a high-quality, productive yield. This Heirloom bean’s hardiness and reliability make it a simple and rewarding crop for any gardener. The creamy yellow, stringless pods are a delicious addition to summer meals, and its suitability for both freezing and canning, means you can enjoy the bounty of your garden all year long.
