Green beans can be grown indoors, however due to their size and requirement of having full sun, outdoors is best. To get started, sow the the sting bean seeds just one inch beneath the surface in a loose soil, with four inches between plants and eighteen to twenty four inches between rows. Bush Beans need light, but even, watering. Because the leaves can become afflicted with disease if made wet, you should water as close to the root as possible. If you do find that a leaf has become diseased, remove it from the plant immediately, as the disease can spread. You can begin harvesting beans when they are about three to five inches long; this will usually be around fifty to seventy days. Leaving mature beans on the plant can stop or slow production, so be sure to keep an eye on these rapid growers! Keep string bean seeds stored in a cool dry place to use next season!
