Planting Tips for the Fabaceae (Leguminosae) Family

Bean diseases:  If you find you have a problem with bean diseases, like brown spots, then holes in your leaves followed by leaves dropping, you will have a bean virus,  probably Bean Mosaic Virus. The only solution we know of is to put your bean seeds into dehydrator and hold at 60 degrees for 24 hours or 50 degrees for 3 days.

To get best results from your bean/pea seeds, plant into seed trays and transplant when they get their first leaves. We grow all our beans, peas, corn etc. like this. No problems with birds, slugs, snails, no gaps in the rows!!
