Planting Instructions
Plant Roma II Bush Bean seeds directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Sow seeds 1 inch deep, spacing them 4-6 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. Beans do best in fertile, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Provide full sun and keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.
Avoid planting beans in the same spot as beans, peas, or other legumes from the previous year to reduce the risk of pests and disease.
Care and Harvesting
Bush beans require little maintenance beyond watering and occasional weeding. Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weeds. Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases. Harvest beans when they are 5–6 inches long and tender, typically 55-60 days after planting. Regular picking encourages continued production.
For companion planting, grow alongside carrots, cucumbers, or strawberries but avoid planting near onions or garlic, which can stunt their growth.
Growing Roma II Beans in Containers
For container gardening, choose a wide pot with at least 12 inches of depth. Fill with well-draining potting mix and plant 2-3 seeds per container. Place in a sunny location and water consistently. Roma II's compact size makes it ideal for patios or small spaces.
