Beans 
Plant beans after all danger of frost is past, in warm, dry 
well-prepared soil. The rows should be 2 to 3 feet apart and 
the seeds covered to 2 inches deep. Thin the young plants 
to 3 to 6 inches apart in the rows. 
For succession, plant every 2 weeks until mid-summer. 
Frequent picking of the crop insures long bearing. Two pounds 
of seed sow 100 feet.
