KALE & APPLE SALAD

Ingredients

1 apple

3-4 cups of baby kale leaves or 1 bunch adult kale

¼ cup roasted sunflower seeds

Learn about Growing Beans with Jamie

You’ll need:

• bean seeds

• a bowl of water soil (on the ground or in a plant pot)

• a trellis (if you are growing pole beans)
  

Instructions

1. Decide what type of beans you want to harvest from your garden (fresh beans or dry beans).

2. Decide whether you want to grow bush beans or pole beans. Pole beans need a trellis to climb.

3. Wait until after the last frost in spring.

4. Soak your bean seeds overnight.

5. Plant about an inch deep and 2-4 inches apart in a row.

6. Keep the soil evenly moist during germination.

7. If you are growing fresh beans, harvest when beans are 5-6 inches long, but before they develop lumps where the seeds are. Keep harvesting and the plants will keep producing.

8. If you are growing dry beans or if you want to save your bean seeds, leave the bean pods on the plants, let them keep growing and let the pods dry on the plant before harvesting. You will harvest fewer beans because harvesting them causes the plant to produce more bean pods.

La mayoría de las plantas necesitarán al menos 6 horas de luz solar al día.

Paso 3: Obtenga les otres suministres: Asegúrese de obtener una tierra para macetas de buena calidad Fertilizante: alimente una vez cada pocas semanas o una vez al mes con fertilizante líquido, como emulsión de pescado, o mezcle un fertilizante vegetal granular en el suelo antes de plantar Puede ser necesario un enrejado o estaca para plantas grandes que necesitan soporte

Paso 4: ¡Planta las plantas! Elija qué cultivar: siembre directamente las semillas o compre plántulas para trasplantar. Microverdes, lechugas verdes y hierbas son opciones que pueden caber en su ventana y crecer rápidamente.
