Straight, dark-green filet bean pods are stringless and about 18cm (7″) long on sturdy bush plants. Straight, dark-green filet bean pods are stringless and about 18cm (7″) long on sturdy bush plants. Maxibel plants yield in a huge but concentrated harvest. This is an excellent choice for multiple spring sowings—stagger planting times and sow rows every two to three weeks. This will result in a much longer harvest window. Try growing Maxibel in larger containers or raised beds, too.

Starting Sow seeds 2-5cm (1-2″) deep, 5-8cm (2-3″) apart, in rows 45-60cm (18-24″) apart. Thin to at least 15cm (6″) apart in each row. If the weather is too wet, beans can also be started in pots indoors and set out carefully a few weeks later. For a continuous harvest, plant at 3 week intervals.
Growing Ideal pH: 6.0-6.5. Well drained, warm soil in full sun is best. Raised beds help with both drainage and warmth. Use 1 cup of complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Too much nitrogen fertilizer is often the cause of poor pod set and delayed maturity. If the plants flower but do not set pods, the cause may be zinc deficiency. Try spraying the plants with kelp-based fertilizer. Wet leaves on crowded plants are subject to diseases. Thin plants to increase air circulation and avoid touching the leaves while they are wet.
