The Ultimate Yard Long Bean Growing Guide - From Seed To Harvest

[@TABULOUS1]

Your natural intelligence is RADIANT the way you deliver factual information. You wear it beautifully.

[@JerrasGarden]

Wow, thank you!

[@dorisrorick2324]

I planted some a few weeks ago. Not sure if I planted enough. How many would you think for a family of six? I can't find information on how many beans each plant produces. Thanks!

[@HillCountryGardenGirl]

Jerra, your channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite gardening channels. Your videos are packed with valuable information, succinct, and to the point. I always learn something that I didn’t know. Thank you so much!

[@JerrasGarden]

So nice of you! I try to think about what I needed to know when I started and deliver that information in an interesting way.

[@rosewood513]

My favorite beans I won't grow any others. I love the red ones so you can see them to harvest, I like that most grow in pairs. I live in the south where they grow fast and long. Nice video thanks.

[@JerrasGarden]

Glad you liked the video and yes, the red ones are much easier to see on the vines.

[@GardenMe407]

So informative! I am in Orlando Florida as well! My yard long beans did exactly what you stated in the video. It produced a ton of beans, then stopped and started again, lol. Now I think it’s coming to an end and it’s time for the second round. Thanks so much for this video!

[@JerrasGarden]

Yep after that smaller 2nd flush, its pretty much done.

[@timmooney2460]

I am here in Deltona Fl. I have prepped my ground and will be transplanting in three days from now. Keeping my fingers crossed. I love watching your videos

[@gogogardener]

I keep aphids down differently. Once the plants are about 6-12" high, I trim to one stem up to the first trellis rung (6"?). Then I paint it with a slurry of IV Organic or diatomaceous earth or kolin clay. It makes it harder for ants to move their aphids onto the beans. Managing at ground level is the key.

[@stardust4459]

Great info! Thanks!

[@sararichardson737]

You paint the trellis or the plant?

[@muhheryantowida6568]

Wow..! a good idea, I'm a farmer too, your idea makes me want to try it.

[@tr0picknowledge]

This video is everything I need! Also in Orlando and have been hesitant to grow these and now am not. Thank you!

[@JerrasGarden]

Your welcome! Give them a try they are very easy to grow.

[@davidhodgson977]

Thanks for that video, I grow yard Long beans, here in Thailand and my red colour beans grow to about 4 feet in lenth, on an A shaped trestles that I build out of bamboo. I attach strong string to the top of the trestle, one per plant, then tie it off at the bottom, leaving a little lenth for the plants to get hold of.

[@JerrasGarden]

Wow 4FT long! I'm actually going to Thailand in a few months. First time going. If you have any farm or gardens I should check out, let me know. I like to visit other gardens while I travel to learn about their gardening practices.

[@davidhodgson977]

@JerrasGarden I am an English expat who lives in Thailand. If you are going to Pattaya or somewhere near there, I would suggest Nong Nooch Botanical Garden, I live in the far north of the country but have visited the Pattaya area, the gardens are butifull, and you need a half day or more to go around them.

[@sunnydayz4040]

I live near Tampa and i appreciate being able to buy local seeds from your store! 😊

[@JerrasGarden]

Happy to help 😊

[@davidjslack]

Just planted these from your store. Seeing their abundance I needs more recipes too.

[@JerrasGarden]

Hope you enjoy

[@olgag5385]

I grow them too, and I would also like some ideas. I cook mine 2 ways, one in a pot with some water and potatoes, season them with salt and a bit of oil or butter, and that's it. 2. I cook them as I cook my asparagus, with salt, garlic powder, and olive oil. I grab a pan, I wash the beans, put them in the pan, add olive oil on top of it, then sprinkle salt and garlic powder, on medium heat. Cover with aluminum foil or a lid, turn them after a few minutes, repeat and done. I love them this way. The garlic powder is optional. Enjoy.

[@GaneshPrakash-hy6hk]

I'm watching from fiji island so beautiful beans

[@JerrasGarden]

Hello and welcome from Fiji. I have to go visit Fiji one day.

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I started growing these for the first time in zone 9b sw Florida. I see them beginn8ng to grow and can't wait to harvest them. I'm going to sucession sow them this summer. Thanks for the helpful video.😊

[@JerrasGarden]

You're welcome!

[@lindalee7127]

Thank you for the fabulous presentation

[@ashokjankie8254]

Thank you . This Year I started for the first time to grow this in the summer outdoor in Holland. Your video helps a lot ! 🙏🙏

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Hi from northwest Florida zone 8b. Last year I grew mine under my corn and they grew up my corn stalks, all was going good until a windstorm flattened my corn corn stalks. At that point I had already harvested most of my corn but the beans were just starting to produce well. It was a big tangled mess on the ground that I decided to let grow there. I harvest a lot of beans but the ants sort of took over the area and I finally let them have it when I got tired of being stung every time I harvested beans. I won't ever make that mistake again. I like to salt brine ferment veggies, that's a good way to preserve the beans too. I love garlic and hot peppers so I usually add them both to all the veg that I ferment. My recipe for the brine is 2 tbsp kosher coarse salt to 1 quart filtered or spring water. Happy Gardening 2024!

[@bakerymama88]

Planted my chinese long beans beginning of July. Cannot wait to see how things grow. I'm in 9a, just south of Jacksonville

[@minosenemounnarath8519]

Thank you, this is extremely helpful ❤

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Oh I'm enjoying Your video and so subscribed

[@JerrasGarden]

Welcome aboard!

[@lenaweisman861]

Great info!! You rock!! Thanks ❤

[@JerrasGarden]

You are so welcome!

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Gotta be the right time for harvest

[@MyRamblingRose86]

I dehydrate and then powder my excess yard long beans. Especially if I left them too long on the plant. If you powder them, you can add them to soups or smoothies for added nutrition. I want to try canning them next year.

[@namuwoloevelyn9774]

Thanks for training

[@JerrasGarden]

Thank you for watching

[@Athomeinthemountains]

A very helpful video, thank you!

[@JerrasGarden]

You're welcome!

[@simonmao6378]

GOOD JOB👍👍

[@JerrasGarden]

Thanks!

[@sahshahkambui8392]

Thank you for your sharing. I am looking forward to going through what you have shared and be ready to choose what I will plant when I move soon. I have had a container garden I am decreasing 90%. I will be going to a much hotter and a few thousand feet up from the 300 foot sea level I am in now. Blessings 🏜

[@JerrasGarden]

You can do it!

[@nene25138]

Thanks! 🤗

[@korbinjohn878]

Are these the same as what they call bora beans in the carribean they look similar but i know they are alot pf varieties of long beans .

[@JerrasGarden]

yes I think bora beans is the same as yard long beans

[@craftandcookSG]

Hi Jerra! I got a seed packet of Thai soldier beans, and I'm wondering if their related to Yard Long beans? I can't seem to find much information on Thai soldier beans aside from the one on your channel! I'm guessing they are in the same family and just a different variety? So the care should be the same?

[@JerrasGarden]

Thai soldier long beans are part of the cow pea or yard long bean family. I have a video all about Thai soldier long beans. Maybe I didnt mention this, not sure lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooK4oH93atJlf68si=bznFslEgybapm8_B

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Dang You so GORGEOUS

[@treefarm3288]

Full sun benefits almost every vegetable. Unfortunately I have to plant my long beans ( called snake beans here) under just 5 hours of sun and a lot of cloud even then. So I will see how they go. Thanks for the video.

[@eroggero]

Just planted some , Two beams on it so far must be a different varieties are kind of speckled. That’s good tips will try to utilize some of those to get better growth. I’m down in Southwest Florida definitely hot and humid not much else growing at this time

[@JerrasGarden]

Yay! There is a speckled variety called Mosaic. I grew it once but like the production of the other varieties better.

[@ameeroe3732]

Loved your video! So much great information. My bean are swarming with wasps and don't seem to be doing well. Do you know why so many wasps?

[@JerrasGarden]

Thats crazy I have never heard of this. Are they affecting the plants or just trying to get to the flowers?

[@timmooney2460]

I am here in Deltona Fl and my seeds have not germinated after 14 days. I am also using inside method of starting seeds. After three weeks I am transplanting them into the ground.

[@JerrasGarden]

Very odd. I recommend you place them over a heat mat to see if warming up the soil will help them germinate.

[@rebeccajohnson1571]

Hi...quick question on pinching the tips....when do you start that? Can it be done when they are a couple weeks old? or do you wait till they are blooming?

[@Dexeaur]

Very informative. What would you rotate yard beans with?

[@JerrasGarden]

Rotate with any other crop type as long as it is not another bean type of thing. So like root crops (carrots), greens (lettuce), brassicas (broccoli etc...) and nightshades (tomatoes/peppers/eggplants), just to name a few, should be switched up.

[@mdbarrak1]

I boil them and they’re delicious, wash the beans, cut them to equal 6” length, boil water and pour over beans in a pot, cover with 1/2” boiled water and wait till water boils then add some salt and tea spoon sugar, let boil for 5 more minutes, turnoff and leave covered for 15 minutes or until water is cold, enjoy during summer days

[@ceejei911]

Hi Jerra! Why do my 6-8 inch babies turning pale? Triple digit here in Central Cali for a few weeks now and I feel like they are stunted.

[@chrisz.9974]

I have a question about these. Do they grow one vine per plant? Or do they send out multiple vines per plant? My idea is to single string them along my roof line instead of trellising them.

[@edwardlake994]

Hi Jerra, what kind of flower do you have growing behind the long beans?

[@JerrasGarden]

The pink ones are zinnias. I have seeds on my website: jerrasgarden.myshopify.com/products/giant-mixed-colors-zinnia?_pos=1&_sid=0c35ce959&_ss=r

[@sreeparnabanerjee3484]

Can we plant these in September?

[@Rosalyn-z6t]

Jerra Im in Sarasota/Bradenton area.You said that the yard long beans grow ok in poor soil?So do you amend your soil with any amendments?🤔

[@matt4Tad]

Great video!!!

[@JerrasGarden]

Glad you liked it!

[@karentoynton8948]

Wow I have never seen these beans in the Uk. What do they taste like, runner beans ? French beans?..

[@JerrasGarden]

They are similar to green beans but more mild with a crunchier texture.

[@savdutch1388]

Greetings, where do you get your grow bags for the long yard beans ?

[@JerrasGarden]

I get them from Amazon here: amzn.to/3TU5OxF

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

They grow well in Austin, TX and if you like crunchy harvest and use immediately otherwise pods het soft in a hurry.

[@hughlynhall6862]

We call it bodi in Trinidad and Tobago

[@drewcampbell9796]

This isnt really yard bean related, but do you prefer/suggest grow bags over 5 gallon buckets? Im in 9b also (florida). I have a ton of 5 gallon buckets 🤷‍♀️

[@JerrasGarden]

I always say, the best thing to use is whatever you have. So go ahead and use the buckets. I would say there really is no difference besides grow bags dry out faster.

[@JerrasGarden]

If your growing a bigger crop, like sweet potatoes, then a 5 gallon bucket might be too small. I'm using 20 gallon or bigger grow bags for sweet potatoes and regular potatoes.

[@drewcampbell9796]

@@JerrasGarden good to know! Thank you. I haven't gotten into potatoes yet. I tend to get excited and start too many things at once 😅 so I'm trying to go slowish and slowly introduce new crops to my garden. Thanks for all your content! I got my Thai soldier beans planted last weekend!

[@benimanaalexis4430]

How can I found this variety

[@theresawhightsel7163]

14:07

[@Miranda-jk5wc]

I just got my seeds from your site the other day. Is it too late to plant them? (I'm in northern Florida). I never know when to plant seeds themselves vs when it's already expected to be transplanted.😅

[@JerrasGarden]

Yes you can direct sow seeds for yard long beans right now

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Da gum it You are so PRETTY

[@lenoraford4578]

Is it too late to grow these in 10a?

[@JerrasGarden]

You can squeeze in a harvest if you direct sow seeds right now

[@anekinoo7]

Yard long beans need +60° night temps for grow. Anything lower they really wont grow. Im in CA. When temps high +100° and nights start to get 60°. When it was below. They wont grow.

[@JerrasGarden]

That's a huge swing in temperatures. In FL its just hot or more hot LOL So they grow about 9 months out of the year for me.

[@سجادشنانفرهودالابراهيمي]

هل هذه النوعيه موجوده بالعراق وكيف احصل على بذورها

[@susankarpy9246]

Amazon

[@miketalley1666]

do they have a string

[@JerrasGarden]

Not if harvested at the correct time. If they get more mature then they start to form a string.

[@gperk929]

😮😮😮

[@jimmyandrews8972]

I want to cook You some asparagus beans

[@theresawhightsel7163]

Can you can them

[@JerrasGarden]

I personally have not canned yard long beans so not sure

[@gwenbenson130]

Yes you can

[@James-kl7ig]

​@gwenbenson130 you can can

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Apfids come with too much nitrogen

[@JerrasGarden]

I dont put nitrogen to any beans or yard long beans. The aphids always come.

[@ralfnuggs165]

Is Jerra single? Holy mackerel dude I did not know woman like this existed
