Broadcast seeds on soil and cover with a thin layer. Keep uniformly moist. Harvest by cutting when seedlings reach 3-4". For smaller sprouts, use a sprouting jar indoors. Wash seeds thoroughly before planting, during growth, and wash sprouts well before eating. For green beans, prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/ summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Hand pick. Harvest filet beans when diameter is 1/8-1/4" at best and before beans start to bulge in the pods. Bean sprouts are a welcome addition to stir-fries and eaten fresh. Use the green bean as you would any green bean. Approx 625 seeds / oz.
