- Soil requirements: Cranberry bush shelling beans prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: These beans require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Water the plants regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. It's important to water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, to encourage deep root growth.
- Planting season: The best time to plant cranberry bush shelling bean seeds is in the spring, after the last frost date has passed and the soil temperature has warmed to at least 60°F (15°C).
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and space them 4-6 inches apart in rows that are 18-24 inches apart. This spacing allows for adequate air circulation and room for the plants to grow.
- Germination time: Cranberry bush shelling bean seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: These beans usually reach maturity in about 70-90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest cranberry bush shelling beans is when the pods are fully mature and have turned a deep, rich color. This is usually in the late summer to early fall.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the pods from the plant to avoid damaging the vines. Harvest in the early morning when the beans are cool and crisp. After harvesting, shell the beans and allow them to dry completely before storing them in a cool, dry place.
