Check moisture at root depth, especially during flowering and pod development, while avoiding a rigid calendar. Harvest pods at the stage described for the variety and continue checking plants as more pods develop. Allow seed-saving or dry-bean pods to mature according to the intended use.

Before sowing Beurre de Rocquencourt Wax Bush Bean, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity.

This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Water lightly at planting, moderately at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time. Avoid overhead watering which can promote disease.

Planting & Growing: Start indoors in short-season climates, or seed directly once soils have reached at least 65°F, preferably after the last frost. Make small, successive plantings every 10 days for a continuous harvest.

Harvesting & Storage: Bush beans will produce all of their fruit over a few weeks' time. For best flavor, harvest the pods when they reach 1/2" in diameter regardless of their length.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Direct seeding is not recommended. Stake to keep fruit off the ground and mulch for disease and weed control.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest the first fruits early to encourage continued production through the season. Cut (don't pull) the fruit from the stems. These peppers may be harvested from the green stage through the color changes.
