Label your sowings clearly and keep young seedlings protected from slugs.

🪴 Planting Out

Plant out after hardening off, spacing plants around 20-30cm apart.
Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
Water well after planting to help roots establish.

Habit: Climbing variety, support required
Provide canes, netting or a frame for climbing types.

✂️ Harvesting / Use

Pick pods regularly while young and tender.
Harvest in dry weather where possible and handle produce or flowers gently.
Use fresh for the best flavour, colour or display quality.

💡 Top Tips

Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
