Cultivation Advice

Climbing Borlotto Bean Lingua Di Fuoco 2 – Cultivation Advice

Beans are hungry crops that require ample organic matter dug in prior to sowing.
Sow in pots undercover in April for an earlier harvest or directly outside
when all danger of frost has passed.
Protect young plants from pests.
Loosely tie in young plants to supports.
Feed once in flower with a high-potash fertiliser to prolong cropping.
Harvest pods when young for fresh beans or leave pods to dry on the vines for beans to store.
