Farmchoice Baguio Beans Seeds Sulit Pack Ten (10) seeds

•Choose the Right Location: Baguio beans thrive in full sun, so select a spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter.

•Prepare the Soil: Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of about 6-8 inches and mix in compost or aged manure to enrich the soil.

•Planting Seeds: Baguio beans can be directly sown into the ground. Plant the seeds about 1 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart. You can plant them in hills or rows, depending on your preference.

•Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plants deeply, providing about 1 inch of water per week, especially during dry periods. Avoid overhead watering, as this can promote diseases.

•Support: Baguio beans are climbers and require support as they grow. You can provide trellises, stakes, or poles for the vines to climb. This helps keep the plants upright and makes harvesting easier.

•Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Organic mulches like straw, hay, or shredded leaves work well.

•Fertilization: Baguio beans are light feeders but benefit from a balanced fertilizer application when planting and occasionally during the growing season. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can promote foliage growth at the expense of bean production.

•Pest and Disease Management: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, bean beetles, and caterpillars. Handpick pests when possible, and use organic insecticides if necessary. Proper spacing and good air circulation can help prevent diseases like powdery mildew and bacterial blight.

•Harvesting: Baguio beans typically mature in about 50-60 days after planting. Harvest the beans when they are young and tender, about 4-6 inches long. Pick them regularly to encourage continuous production. Use scissors or pruners to avoid damaging the vines.
