Optimal Growing Conditions:

To achieve the best results with 'Black Midnight' Bush Beans, it's important to meet their basic growing needs:

  • Location: Plant in a sunny spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. The plants prefer warmth and thrive in well-drained soil.
  • Soil: Ensure that the soil is rich in organic matter and drains well. Loamy, slightly acidic to neutral soil is ideal for these beans.
  • Planting: Direct sow the seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and space them about 2-4 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart. They germinate quickly in warm soil.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water deeply once or twice a week to ensure proper hydration during flowering and pod development.
  • Harvesting: 'Black Midnight' Bush Beans are ready for harvest in 55-60 days. Pick them when the pods are full and firm but before they dry out on the plant. For fresh eating, harvest the pods when young and tender.
