Harvest a Bounty of these Delicious Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Bean

Growing Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans can be a rewarding experience, as they are a flavorful and easy-to-grow vegetable. Here are some tips on how to grow a bounty of Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans:
- Choose a sunny location: Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans require full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives plenty of sunlight.
- Prepare the soil: The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. Work in compost or well-rotted manure into the soil before planting. Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans prefer a soil pH of 6.0 to 6.8.
- Plant the seeds: Plant the seeds directly into the soil after the last frost in your area. The seeds should be planted 1 inch deep and 2 inches apart. Space the rows 18 to 24 inches apart.
- Water regularly: Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist. Do not overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
- Fertilize: Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans are light feeders, but will benefit from a side dressing of compost or a balanced fertilizer about 3 weeks after planting.
- Weed and mulch: Keep the area around the plants weed-free by hand weeding or using a hoe. Mulch around the plants with woodchips, straw or shredded leaves to help retain moisture and prevent weeds.
- Harvest: Cherokee Wax Yellow Bush Beans will be ready to harvest in about 50 to 60 days after planting. Pick the beans when they are young and tender, before the seeds inside begin to develop. Harvest the beans regularly to encourage the plants to produce more.
