Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full Sun

Water: Keep soil moisture consistent

Fertilizer: Do not fertilize nitrogen affixers like bean crops. An initial application or amendment of an organic granular fertilizer, like Espoma Garden-Tone helps boost seedling growth, but then do not fertilize again.

When & How To Sow Seeds: Direct sowing is preferred after the last frost. In warmer climates can also direct sow at end of summer for a fall harvest.  Use square foot gardening guidelines to direct sow 9 seeds per square foot. Or direct sow seeds in rows, spacing each seed about 3 inches from each other, in rows that are 12-18 inches apart. Keep the soil moist for better germination. 

Germination: 6-15 days

Days To Maturity: 80-100 days after direct sowing the seed

How & When To Harvest: For fresh azuki beans, pick the young, green pods regularly to enjoy in stir-fries, soups, or other dishes. This continuous harvesting also encourages the plants to produce more pods. If you’re looking to use dry beans, let the pods mature on the plant until the end of the season. Then, pull up the entire plant and hang it in a well-ventilated indoor space or greenhouse to allow the pods to fully dry. Once the pods are crisp and dry, simply shell the beans and store them for later use.

Common Diseases: The most common disease is rust, which easily occurs in humid or damp conditions. Improve airflow by proper plant spacing. Spray with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. 

Common Pests: Critters like rabbits love to munch on newly germinated seedlings, so protection from small animals might be required. I often find leaves with the edges cut and rolled in. This is damage from beanleaf roller larvae. It is usually not bad enough to where you need to treat for it and can just ignore.
