GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Plant seeds 1-2 inches deep and 3-4 inches apart in rows spaced about 2-3 feet apart. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and pod development. Tiger's Eye beans are relatively drought-tolerant once established and can be harvested as fresh shell beans in about 70 days or dry beans in 90 days.
