Yin et Yang (Starazagorsky)

Sow from mid-May to mid-June in rows 40–50 cm apart. Sow with 5–8 cm between seeds at a depth of 1 cm. Never plant too deep as beans “need to hear the bells ringing”. Later, hill the plants twice. In autumn, harvest the dry pods to hull. Store them in a dry cool place for when you are ready to either decorate or cook your favourite recipe. Beans do well intercropped with beetroot, leeks, celery and radish. Gardener Tip: Soak seeds for 12 hours in lukewarm chamomile tea before sowing.
