Direct sow after frost danger has passed and the soil is warm. Install support early so the vines can climb without being disturbed later. Check moisture at root depth during flowering and pod development, and avoid leaving the soil saturated. Pick tender pods regularly as they reach the preferred size. Review the current packet for seed count, exact sowing, maturity, harvest, and food-use guidance.
