Method
 

Planting
  1. Fill your chosen planter with well-draining potting soil, leaving about an inch of space from the rim.
  2. Plant green bean seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart, then gently cover them with soil.
Watering and Care
  1. Water the seeds thoroughly after planting, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  2. Once sprouts appear, around day 3-4, sprinkle minced garlic around the base of the plants to infuse a subtle garlic flavor as they grow.
  3. Continue to water regularly, keeping the soil moist, and provide at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Harvest
  1. After approximately 7 days, your garlic green beans should be ready for harvest when they are firm and about 4-6 inches long.
  2. Snip or pluck the beans carefully to avoid damaging the plant, encouraging further growth.

Notes

For optimal garlic flavor, consider planting garlic cloves directly in the soil alongside your green bean seeds. Ensure adequate drainage to prevent root rot in your planter or pot. Harvesting regularly encourages higher yields and continuous production of green beans.
