A rich, sandy loam suits Beans to perfection. Toward the end of April, or still better, in 
May, sowings may be made and may be repeated every 2 weeks until August. Have the rows 
about 2 feet apart. Sow quite thinly in the row and about 2 inches deep, thinning out to stand 
4 to 6 inches apart in the rows.
