Roc D'or produces beans ready to pick in 60 days from direct sowing, making it one of the faster routes from seed to table for bean growers. The catalog recommends successive sowings every few weeks through late June to extend your harvest window, turning a single planting into months of continuous picking. Its preference for warm soil (germination at 55°F) means timing matters, but once established, it handles the heat with the confidence of a true summer bean.
As a snap or fresh bean, Roc D'or is eaten fresh from the garden, steamed, or incorporated into summer dishes. The short days to harvest make it particularly valuable for gardeners looking to cycle through multiple crops in a single season.
In spring, once nighttime temperatures stay securely above 55°F, sow seeds directly outdoors in well-worked, fertile soil in full sun. Plant seeds 1 inch deep and 4 inches apart in rows spaced 1.5 to 2 feet apart. Make successive sowings every several weeks until the end of June for continuous harvests.
Pick pods at 60 days from sowing when they reach mature size, harvesting regularly to encourage continued production. Snap beans are best picked before they become overly large and fibrous; select pods that snap cleanly when bent.
