French beans need support, for example use crossed bamboo canes in rows, preferably in a north-south direction. Place the sticks in rows 150 cm apart, leaving 40 cm between the sticks in the row. Use 3-5 seeds per stick, about 3 cm deep.
Sow the pole beans in the open ground from mid-May to early July. For early cultivation, sow under glass from the end of April and plant out in the second half of May.
French beans can be sown in a greenhouse from early April to mid-July. Use rope or climbing nets so that the pole beans can swing themselves up.
Beans need sufficient heat and moderately moist soil. Therefore, choose a sunny and sheltered position in the garden or greenhouse.
In wet and cold weather, the beans germinate poorly. So do not sow earlier than the indicated period: May to July. During germination and in the first growing period, pole beans need a lot of heat. The beans can also be pre-soaked overnight to speed up germination.
Do not use fresh manure, it contains too much nitrogen.
