When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when temperatures are warm. Note: In very hot summer areas such as the South and Southwest, sow in March for June harvest, and August for late September harvest. When to start inside: Not recommended
~ harvesting ~
Expect your first beans about ten weeks after germination. Daily harvesting improves production; for best flavor and tenderness, pick the beans when they are no larger than a pencil in thickness, or from 4-8" long. Serve or preserve the same day you harvested them for the freshest taste. When cooked, these beautiful purple beans will turn green.
