Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds late spring (April-May in Japan) after last frost in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Harvesting occurs in early summer to midsummer (June -July in Japan). Pick young green bean pod for fresh cooking. For dried beans, harvest the total plant at the end of the season and hang indoors to dry thoroughly before shelling the beans. Adzuki beans do not require trellising.
