Beans are one of those vegetables which grow very fast all the season. Most vegetables are indifferent to whether they have light or darkness when germinating. Its seeds are very sensitive, it can be sowed directed to the soil.



Choose a field where you want to sow your seeds. Or you can make on the seedling tray.Dig on the ground to make different row where the plants will grow well.

Dig one end of the row to the depth of your shovel, put that soil at the other end of the row, This way the soil will  be loosened. Dig the space next to that, putting the removed soil in the first space. Continue digging down the row for  loosening the soil at the bottom of each hole, until you put the first soil you removed in the other end of the row.  This process is known as double digging. Do this in an area of the vegetable garden that receives full sun when it is dry enough to work in the spring. Let the soil rest for a few weeks.

Sow the bean seeds six inches apart and 1 inch deep, slightly less if you have clay soil.Use three seeds for one plant. Sprinkle water very lightly and carefully on the seeds keeping the soil moist, but not soggy until the green bean seeds germinate.Now, wait for six to seven days for germination.
