Nice, CT resident here as well. Just planted some of those same beans, the blue lake 274. Those & golden wax. Here's a little tip for germinating seeds super fast & knowing which seeds are good & bad. The bush beans I planted today had large tap roots growing on them in less than 24hrs. I put them in a 1% hydrogen peroxide water solution, 8oz water & 15ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide. I started using this germination process this year & have been blown away by how fast seeds germinate. Tap roots in less than 24hrs. Into the soil they go & in less than 48hrs average, I have the 1st set of leaves. And so far, the plants look great & are growing fast. If after 48 hrs seeds don't germinate, I transfer them to a moist paper towel sealed in a zip lock bag for another 2-3 days. At that point the majority sprout & I don't bother planting the ones that haven't I tried leaving those that didn't show tap roots for extended time in the moist towel but they never germinated. So this method helps me put seeds in the ground that I know for sure are going to sprout & spout in less than a week, from seed to plant (1st set of leaves) in 3-4 days average. Happy growing! 😊🧑‍🌾

No need to pre soak the beans, cool. Nice demo

Green beans are so much fun to grow

In my experience, those blue lake beans only take like 3 days to sprout

I have 2 plants in one hole. Do I need to trim it?

What spacing do you do per plant in container? I'm planning on 3 per 3 gallon bucket. Any insight would be great. Thanks in advance

But you didn’t nick the end off the seeds with a razor blade
