On it's edge, convex edge uppermost, but if you get them upside down, they grow anyway, natures like that. When I was a kid I was told if I planted them upside down they would try to grow to Australia, Hmmm?
I you'st to have a handle on the world .. but it BROKE!!
I tend to put them in long ways on if you know what I mean - if you hold the bean so it's tall rather than wide, and plunge it in that way up. However, when I sow direct, I just bung em in and they land on their sides. The soon find down for root and up for shoot so I shouldn't worry.
I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!
Now a little Shrinking Violet.
On an edge works well for beans, also seeds like marrows and courgettes. Helps stop them rotting I believe. However, most seeds, corms and bulbs will find their own way to grow in spite of our efforts, thank goodness.
