I love me some baby limas! A little bacon, salt and pepper, cooked for about an hour. Now that's some good old fashioned eats. You've got a good stand even with the weather mishap. Your tomatoes back there look beautiful, too! God bless both you and Nancy! Oh and Bing Bing PS: I loved the start of the video where BB was helping you shop for beans!

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+elliemae4525 Thank you!! I love theM baby Limas👍. Bing Bing says Hi😀

[@cockeyedhomestead]

Great idea using the pvc pipe. I found that soaking the seed overnight gives me faster germination.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

How cool is that super duper seed dropper...lol...that's a first for me ...I love it...at first when you said you were gonna introduce us to your "super duper seed dropper" I thought to myself yeah Nancy will be be dropping those beans...lol..but, you surprised me...y'all have a great day and tell Nancy hello...and thanks for all your gardening tips!!

[@anniewagner1583]

I am glad to see that most of the plants recovered from the crazy spring weather in our area this year. I waited to plant my pole beans because of it. Now they are climbing up the teepees. It is so hard not to fertilize them. I go around with compost tea once a week, and I have to remind myself to skip the beans. They do so much better without fertilizer. I am looking forward to seeing your harvest.

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+RootedFeet InEarth You are very wise!! 👍. Nancy wants Pole Beans next year. Guess we will be growing some.😇

[@edwinthompson6510]

hi rootedfeet have you tryed a bean climber called Painted Lady they a fantasico i keep the seeds every year if your interested i do know where you can get them Moles seed co in the UK their address is onlineat www.molesseeds.co.uk they are hermetically sealed god be with always ed

[@percymiller4570]

I think you will find rooted feet, that Mr Hollis fertilizes his snap beans pretty heavily, and has great results. In his video about them he used fish, rock, compost and triple thirteen. My question is, are snap beans requirements different from other beans? Do you fertilize your snap beans?

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Percy Miller No Percy, I used none of that on my beans. I have plenty of Nitrogen in my soil. I don't add anything because it makes my bean plants grow all leaves and no blooms.

[@percymiller4570]

+Hollis & Nancy's Homestead I apologize. I was thinking of OLD Alabama Gardener. He used triple thirteen! On snap beans. Is that OK?

[@TheNCGardener]

I have the same type super duper seed planter but I have a funnel on the top end and a short peice of wood ('bacca stick) sharpened to a point that is held on at the bottom with a hose clamp. it sticks out about 2 inches beyond the pipe. You stick it in the ground to make the hole, and as you pull it out, you drop the seed in and it goes in the hole. It save one step.

[@trishsimmerman271]

I wanted to tell you how much I love your videos. The only thing that I would change is the one minute introduction to each one. It is just over a minute long every time. Love the videos

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

[@charlenefitzgerald3811]

I love the new promo pics of you Sweet Nancy, and cutie Bing Bing ( love his camo) have ya' ll ever considered S.C. Instead of Fla? ( foothills). You'd be Man of the Year at the Feed store, the toast of the county! You Rock! Bless Ya'll

[@gauripawar-patil7710]

Nice video! Love the seed dropper...you could use the seed dropper alone to make the hole and drop the seed. 2-in-1, saves time :). You have a full fledge farm there. God bless you!

[@cupofnanahomestead7137]

New subscriber. That seed dropper and water belt is an idea that I will be permanently borrowing for y'all. That is just pure genius right there. We've been having real odd weather here. We use to get rain in the late afternoons but now it just starts poring mid morning all the way through. So I might start my seeds in containers and then sow them in. But I'm definitely gonna put this idea in my journal. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless.

[@mightisright]

I think you're right about rain water vs. hose water. I personally think the additives (like fluoride) they put in the water supply are what the plants don't like. Every time we get a real storm everything comes to life.

[@ThroningLeek492]

I make sure to take the weather into account so I can water with my town water as little as possible. I also use mulch made from leaves and straw to hold more water.

[@wandaturner3618]

I love lima beans too. Im planting the fordhook limas. Should I plant them the same way?

[@drnocka-rocksteady]

That garden looks great.

[@gamingwithpulkit7094]

Good Video for children and young adults... Such Go ❤️od habits need to be inculcated..

[@Ladydesireus]

oops you say here not to fertilize and I did.I watched a video where you scattered fertilizer and then tilled it in-sooo that is what I did...My peas and beans are up and looking great,so pray I have peas and beans too. I'm confused now about fertilizer.... But enjoyed your video..and TYFS with us...

[@HollisNancysHomestead]

+Peachyheart Georgia They will most likely be ok. The video you saw was after a couple of growing seasons and the ground soil was needing a boost. I do that about every 3 years or so. A good rule of thumb is if you are growing something that needs blooms to produce the fruits you are looking for go very light on the nitrogen. These plants need phosphorus for good root growth and blooms. If you are growing something that you are going to eat the leaves such as collards, spinach etc. these need a little nitrogen to push lead development.

[@TheOne-jo5mn]

oh you did do limas..i like the high tech seed the dispenser very wise.

Thunderstorm rain rules! The lightning is enough energy to break the N2 triple bond and make the free nitrogen bond with rain drops to make a weak nitric acid....plants write home about how good the rain is compared with city water.

[@kathyhirsch379]

Not all the time in Australia there is a cloud seeding with all kind of camicals lots of rain flading I can see my plants can't maturer the way it sopose to be going up to seed in a short time noticing brown patches like burnt patches still trying 😉 😀

[@brittanydoley]

My kid brought a Lima bean plant home (we named it Jack in the bean stock) and now it’s growing out of control. I didn’t know it was a Lima bean plant lol what do I do with this plant? It’s it’s currently in a pot growing crazy wild lol I water it all the time

[@brandyburgess8267]

I grow my beans indoors and don't get rain do you think I need to fertilize because they are in the same pot with my corn which is a nitrogen lover? Should I give them bloom booster and kinda curious about that because they're in the same bag with my corn?

[@pjd2709]

Do you have a follow up video for this one? I am not sure how long to leave the beans on the plant? I love lima beans too they are so delicious to eat. I have grown regular bean and I love the asparagus beans I grew them last year they are on my growing list for every year now. But some of the other beans, like Broard beans, can be eaten at a green stage or grown on to be dried beans, not sure of the names used in the USA for these, do you know what I am talking about...? Mainly beans for drying, pinto etc. Thank you for all you both do and all the work you put into your video's they are always awesome, just love the video's and you guys too!

Oml I can relate to how “tough” it was with temps. We had those drops the last couple of weeks and of an entire row I planted...only TWO came up lol. I replanted some from a bag in my pantry! I ran out of the ones I bought as “seed”. Damn if every one of those didn’t sprout! I now have a full row. I hope they do okay. I did it as a joke with my husband from the bag of beans. I didn’t expect them to come up lol. I’m not complaining though!

[@francescaashby1531]

Hello from Virginia! Do you have time to answer a couple of questions about my Christmas Pole Lima beans?

[@francescaashby1531]

I’m harvesting Christmas Pole Lima beans that I’m meant to pressure can fresh, are the white ones good? They’re just as big but haven’t changed color. The darkest ones resemble the original bean color that was planted but mostly just from the dried up pods. Does the little sprout change it’s eatability? I’ve watched a ton of videos, but I haven’t seen these questions brought up. I greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

[@shawnclement648]

Can you provide an average tempurature range the plants grow well in. I'm in Northeast Florida and looking for plants to grow in the December through February/March time frame. We very rarely go below 17 degrees F' and the days are usually in the 40-60 degrees during our winter. One of our problems is a high level of calcium, magnesium carbonates, gypsum or salt. I've been using a lot of potting and garden soils from Home Depot where I plant. I get some things to grow, but the fruits are smaller than normal. Is there a way to balance the soil that is naturally high in those salty compounds?

[@1charlastar886]

I grew up on a farm in south GA. Lima beans need Southern SUMMERS with temperatures in the upper 80s to 90s. They don't produce well unless there is FULL sun and WARM nights. They won't do in winter.

Try no tile gardening. Your soil will become fluffy a few years later and you don't need to till you soil year after year. Plus you will start to have a lot of worms in your soil too.
