Variety Patani (lima beans) seeds for planting

How to sow/plant seeds:

To plant lima bean seeds, prepare the soil, ensure it's warm and well-drained, then plant seeds 1-2 inches deep, spacing them 2-4 inches apart in rows 2-3 feet apart. Bush lima beans are planted 2-3 feet tall and may need staking when covered in pods, while pole beans require sturdy support, says The Spruce. 

1. Prepare the soil:

Loosen the soil to a depth of at least 1-2 inches, and ensure it is warm and well-drained, says Better Homes & Gardens. 

2. Plant the seeds:

Plant lima beans 1-2 inches deep, with bush varieties spaced 4-6 inches apart and pole varieties 8-10 inches apart, according to wikiHow. 

3. Space the rows:

Leave 2-3 feet between rows to allow for easy access and unrestricted growth, as Better Homes & Gardens suggests. 

4. Thin seedlings:

After germination, thin the seedlings to 4-6 inches apart, says Better Homes & Gardens. 

5. Water regularly:

Provide about an inch of water per week during the blossoming and pod development stages, notes SKH. 

6. Provide support:
