The Black-Eyed Beans Vigna unguiculata variety produces plump, cream-coloured beans with distinctive black “eyes” and a mild, nutty flavour. This product consists of well-established seedlings, ready to be transplanted directly into your garden for a quicker start. These highly productive climbing vines provide continuous harvests, making them ideal for gardeners who want to maximize yield with minimal space. Trellising the vines helps to save garden space and improves air circulation, leading to healthier plants and abundant harvests.
Growing Characteristics:
Once transplanted, these established Black-Eyed Bean seedlings grow rapidly, producing clusters of tender pods. With proper care, plants will soon develop beans that can be harvested at various stages for either fresh or dried use. Harvest beans when pods are mature but still tender for the best flavour and texture.
Weather Considerations:
As these seedlings are already established, they should be transplanted into the ground after the last frost has passed. Black-Eyed Beans thrive in warm, sunny conditions. Applying mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and keep roots cool during warmer days. Regular, moderate watering encourages steady growth.
Pollination:
Black-Eyed Beans are self-pollinating, so they do not require insect pollinators. However, ensuring good airflow around the plants promotes robust flowering and pod production, leading to a plentiful harvest.
Plant Care After Transplanting:
- Seedling Height: These established seedlings are typically 15cm-20cm tall, making them ready for immediate transplanting.
- Spacing: Space rows 60-90cm apart, with individual plants 15-20cm apart to allow climbing vines to expand and adequate airflow to prevent disease.
Harvest Time:
As these are well-established seedlings, you can expect your first harvest in about 10-12 weeks after transplanting, depending on local conditions. Harvest when pods are fully developed but still tender for fresh use, or allow beans to dry on the plant for storage.
Preferred Growing Conditions:
- Transplanting Site: Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil to support rapid growth and optimal pod development.
- Soil: Soil should be light, well-drained, and rich in organic matter to promote healthy growth.
- Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation between plants to prevent diseases.
- Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture, control weeds, and protect the roots from temperature changes.
- Watering: Water deeply and consistently at the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.
