I love beans in most forms (like green beans that include the pod or black beans that only include the bean), but how do you know which is which when buying seeds? I was pretty confused this season as I was mainly looking for the kind where you'd eat the whole pod. And then what's the difference between bush beans or a pole bean, other than of course one vines & one doesn't.. Thanks!
@jacquesinthegarden2 жыл бұрын
So a lot of beans can be eaten as either green bean or as dry beans but usually ones meant tk eaten one way or another are better. A green bean will say usually green bean or eat fresh where are dry beans will usually say dry bean or shelling bean. That’s sort of the primary way, scarlet runner can be eaten green, shelled and not dry or fully dry!

It is a matter of timing : when you have had super hot temperatures, the flowers didn’t have a chance to form properly: they got burnt . They like the warm soil to get started but this year has been really hot , and the bees haven’t had the chance to pollinate due to the lack of flowers.

Bush beans like it hot but not that hot. I'm in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 I can grow them all year round but avoid Jan Feb as this is the hottest it gets. Also I drench the ground first, poke my seeds in and do not water again until they pop up, again a good drenching of water and then again once they start flowering, this produces a ton of beans. I've also found transplanting beans never give as good as a crop as when I direct sow. I use the birdies raised beds hugelkuter method 🙂

Love your channel Jacques. As much as I love gardening it is a lot of work. So when the "fruits of your labor" never show up it is disheartening. My battle this year was with my tomatoes and prized 10 yr old avocado tree. I thought I had a bumper year for both, but this heat has really done a number on my tomato plants. Those tomatoes are done. I've planted a few more, but lets see how they handle the heat for the rest of summer. My tree was covered in baby avocados so I was thrilled. I was monitoring the water and watching them grow. Then end of July heat came and they started to fall off. Still have a good amount on the tree but I still have to get through August and September heat (I live near Los Angeles). I love gardening, I call it my therapy so I will plug on. I really enjoy seeing you share how you work at it like the rest of us. Thank you!

I planted golden butterwax bush beans for the first time earlier in June (also it's my first time gardening in general) and this video popping up reminded me to go check on them. I got a pretty decent harvest of fully grown beans, and I left on the smaller ones. In some other epic gardening videos, Kevin mentioned that harvesting them helps them to produce more. I don't have anything to compare it to but I did think that today's harvest was smaller than what I was expecting for this time of year.

I don't measure when I fertilize, have a feeling I over do it. But for beans I use no amendments at beginning, nor the inoculation. But after they start growing only compost tea or worm tea and they thrive. Beans always do better for me direct sowing vs transplant and I've never used the inoculation powder.

My beans are struggling as well. Glad to see I am not alone. Unfortunately, our first frost is not far away so I do not have time to replant.

My 2022 beans were off to a good start and then one day I started to notice a leaf issue that just took over and effected all four varieties. I thought I might try a Scarlett pole bean and Contender bush beans this year. Even these fail, I'll be finished with wasting my money and time on beans.

i live in escondido, and my beans have been struggling all year. i put up a 30% shade cloth and they blew up and the beans i grew with my corn, once the corn was tall enough to block out some of the sun, then they blew up as well. i have a dozen bean in red solo cups since may, and once the shade cloth went up they have tripled in height and are producing beans.

Could be the sun or heat but they get a fair amount of shade

We haven’t gotten green beans in 2 or 3 years now bc the rabbits eat all the seedlings down to stems overnight

The heat..beans if heat stressed will drop blossoms. Any heat over 85 F..will do this. When it cools they will set fruit.

It hasn’t been over 85 except for the past 2 weeks! That’s why I excluded heat

I’m in SoCal, inland empire, and I lost all my summer squash, two spaghetti winter squash and two watermelon plants to rollie-pollies this year. They chewed through all of the stems of these plants. I tries beer and/or fruit rind traps and got at least 1000 of them. I resorted to DE around the stems of my remaining plants. I have no idea where the rollie-pollies came from, I’ve never had this particular pest problem before.

I've had bad luck putting mulch over bean seeds...the roly-polys like the moisture under the mulch and completely trash the seedlings as they emerge. My pole beans are producing faster than I can eat/freeze/dehydrate them but I have no success with bush beans. Let us know how this works out!
