Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation: Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Till the soil 8-10 inches deep and rake several times to break up large clods. It is best to do this when the soil is dry enough to not stick to garden tools. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. Planting: Germination is faster when seeds are soaked in water for 4 hours. In the Spring, plant beans after all danger of frost has passed. Plant pole beans in hills about 3 feet apart in the row. Space the rows about 3-5 feet apart. Place a 6-8-foot stake in the center of each hill. Plant 3-4 seeds around the stake about 1 inch deep in the soil. Planting in moist soil is best for seeds to germinate and emerge quickly. Hyacinth may start fruiting 60–65 days after sowing and continue for 90–120 days. Care During the Season: Watering: Water the plants about once a week. Once established (2–3 months after sowing) hyacinth is quite drought tolerant. Weeding: The roots of beans grow near the soil surface. When hoeing and pulling weeds, try not to dig too deep to prevent the plant's roots from damage.
