The quick maturing pods of this variety can grow up to 20cm in length and form above the leaves which mskes them really easy to harvest.
Growing Instructions:

Sow from May to July outdoors directly into rich well prepared soil in a sunny spot. Sow three or four seeds together 4cm deep and allow 20cm between each cluster of seeds in the row and 45cm between each row. They can also be grown in large pots or containers. Hoe regularly and keep them watered especially once flowering commences and add a mulch during hottest dry periods. They will be ready to pick from June to October and if you pick the pods regularly while they are still young you will get a heavier yield over a longer period of time.
