Plant seeds 1½ inches apart in rows 2½ feet apart.
Cover seeds with 1 inch of fine soil, well pressed down.
Water well at planting time and keep moderately moist after seedlings emerge.
THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin to 3 inches apart.
GERMINATION:
6 to 10 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.

For best crop, keep free of weeds. Do not hoe when wet. For highest quality and yield, pick pods when young (about 4 to 5 inches long). For continuous crop, make successive plantings every 2 to 3 weeks until mid-summer.
