How to Grow Purple Mart Tsu In Yard Long Bean Seeds:
Purple Mart Tsu In is a vigorous yard-long bean (cowpea) grown for deep purple, extra-long pods. It’s a true heat-lover, so sow only when weather is warm and soil stays above about 20–22°C (68–72°F). Direct sow is best because beans dislike root disturbance. Soak seeds 4–8 hours in room-temp water if you want faster sprouting. Plant seeds 2–3 cm (about 1 in) deep, spacing 15–20 cm (6–8 in) apart in rows, and keep rows 60–90 cm (24–36 in) apart. Choose full sun and well-drained soil, then install a trellis, net, or tall teepee at planting time—vines can reach 2–3 m (6–10 ft). Keep soil evenly moist until germination, usually 5–10 days in warm conditions.
How to Care for Purple Mart Tsu In Yard Long Beans:
Water regularly, especially once flowering starts; steady moisture keeps pods straight and tender, but avoid waterlogging. Mulch helps hold moisture and reduce heat stress. Yard-long beans fix their own nitrogen, so don’t over-fertilize—too much nitrogen gives tons of leaves and fewer pods; a little compost at planting and a light balanced feed once the vines start running is plenty. Guide vines onto the support and pinch the tip when they reach the top to encourage side shoots and more flowering. Harvest pods young and slender (usually 30–45 cm / 12–18 in long for best tenderness); picking every 1–2 days keeps the plant producing heavily. Watch for aphids, mites, and bean beetles, plus powdery mildew in humid weather—good airflow, watering at soil level, and early neem/soap sprays help. With heat, sun, and frequent harvests, Purple Mart Tsu In will produce nonstop through the warm season.
