You are my very favorite gardener! You’re an amazing teacher, thanks so much. Also, we are so grateful to the Lord for restoring your health. God bless you.
In the month of April, I planned the beans in egg shells. They grew in about 4 days. This was the fastest I have ever seen a seed grow. So I am transplanting them straight to the ground but breaking up the egg shell. I love your videos!
THANK YOU!!!! for making this a quick but VERY good video with mucho excellent info. I hope to get my beans in the ground this next week so I came across the perfect video. Thanks for your help and Jesus bless.
I live in zone 3a. Our last frost date is mid June. I'm no stranger to covering my gardens! 🙄 I always direct sow my bush and pole beans. I try to pre heat my soil each spring with poly sheets and because our days are much longer than down south the short season is compensated for.👍🏻love the topping off tip! My pole beans often get 9 ft + tall and trying to take over the planet 😱😂😂 thank you for the great info! I love learning what other people do! One of my favorite things about gardening is there is always something new to learn no matter how experienced you are👍🏻
I'm a Canadian Gardner in zone 4. I've always direct sown my beans without issue. I've never had luck starting indoors. For climbing I have cattle panel fencing that I arch and install in my garden. My cukes, peas and beans all climb and I have a neat, 50 foot tunnel to walk through. My garden is 50x50 feet.
I've been growing pole beans for several years and never thought to top them off. Thank you for this great tip!! Can't wait to watch your other vlogs, especially regarding tomatoes!
Your videos are so great! Easy to follow and concise. You don't waffle on like so many who do videos whatever the subject. Do you have tips on growing beets from seedlings?
I kind of already knew all the tips as I have grown a few seasons by now(well, except the part they don't like transplant). However still could not stop watch all the way to the end. That is how good your video is! keep up the good work. Looking forward to more to come!
Thanks for the tips on pole beans. Bush Beens have been tradition for me even in raised bed. Have switched to pole beans to save my back but did not know all this. Looking forward to second year with them. Thanks again!
Hi! I love your method of gardening..This is my second year planting.. I have followed your instructions, and my garden turned out very beautiful.. this year, I will be planting a few more veggies, hopefully they grow as good as last year's.. thank you! God Bless You for all your most valuable tips..🙏❤🇨🇦😊👍🏻
I just subbed about a month ago, and I have to say you are one of my top 3 favorite gardeners to watch 😊 Started my first garden (in over 20 years) last year here in zone 5b (NW INDIANA). I didn't research first, but did okay. This year I wanted to do much better than okay. This year my garden is 3 times as large and I'm growing 3 times as much 😁 I'm also diving into plants I've never grown before! Beans are new to me, I have the bush variety for my first run. Just wanted to stop by and tell you how much you are appreciated ❤
Thank you so much for this video. We're in North Central Florida and my pole beans are about 8feet up now with lots of blossoms. I am happy to hear about pinching the top , making more beans come out lower.
We have had a miserable cold Spring here in the SF Bay area but it's supposed to start getting sunny and warmer. It's June 11 2023 and I hope to sow the green bean seeds next week as it warms up. I've never seen such a cold overcast Spring here in the 30 plus years that I lived here. But we have a long growing season so planting in June should be no problem.
Great video - thank you. Did not know about the tip cutting - will be doing that. Besides green beans we also planted Pinto and Red Kidney beans for drying later. Oh no - I forgot to plant the Soy beans - got to do that today. Thank you again. Judi
This is my first year growing beans (Kentucky Blue Wonder) and I was happy to walk through my garden this morning and see the first beans. Wow, they grow really fast like my cherry tomatoes or the peppers. It seems like just two days ago it was just flowers and now I see the start of beans that are about 2" long already. Fun! I made two grow bags that are about 2 feet across and at least a foot deep and they are happpppppppy!
@@NextLevelGardening One of the reasons I went with this variety was that it is supposed to produce quite a bit along with staying short. The garden I do is a strip of unused land here at my apartment complex which is a community garden. I grow and the neighbors harvest:) But the real goal is to grow everything inside year round so this was an experiment. Right now, I have basil, cilantro, spring onions, baby carrots, and lettuce in the closet...and of course, cannabis:)) At the end of the summer, the strawberries will be added and one of the pepper plants will come back inside like last year. I was given an orange jalapeno last summer that spent the winter in the closet producing like crazy and now its outside again. It doesn't realize that last winter was the coldest on record because it still thinks its mid-summer. I have a thought about your raised beds. You use plastic to line. What about weed barrier fabric which would not require adding holes? Every cannabis grower I know is making grow bags from this and they are fussier than vegans about what touches their plants. That's what I used to line my above ground (as in 3' off of the ground) cedar planter boxes. The entire box breathes better which is good for plants. Just a thought.
Love your video's and super good advice. Alfalfa ( Lusern ), is also a super good soil builder. You can also eat the young shoots. Youse the rest of the plant to build your compost or as feed for your chickens and rabbits.
I am trying a "new" bush bean this year it's a Heirloom variety called Purple Teepee. The actual beans are purple they turn green when cooked..the beauty of purple beans is they are eazy to see when harvesting. I'm excited to see how they do.. I tried a dark purple carrot called black nebula and they were amazing their flavor was excelient. They have high amounts of anthocyanins and high in vitamin C they are also heat totolerant. Planted them again and a new Atomic Red carrot can't wait to try this one.
I live up north in Sweden (almost the same lat as Fairbanks, Alaska) and have to pre sow most of my veggies. Only wanted to tell that there is no problem to pre sow beans in a seed brim as long as you are careful when picking them out. Use a seed brim with larger holes in the bottom and a good soil keeping the roots together. Then take a stick with the same width as the holes and carefully press it in to push the plant upwards until you can use your hands to pick it up from the brim. 30 yrs in the garden and never lost a bean...
Was thinking about making a teepee with bamboo to grow pole beans in pots, large enough for my dog to go inside and get some shade from the sun. I had thought about making self wicking 5 gal. buckets because it keeps the soil moist by making sure the reservoir at the bottom is full. The other thought was to plant smaller bottomless pots into a well composted area around the base. Either way, this is a great tip on managing the risers where they meet at the top...plus I'll get more beans! I'm a new subscriber learning a wholotta good stuff on your channel. Thank you!
Absolutely very valuable tips on growing beans and it couldn’t come any better on the timing because I just sowed a lot of beans, fingers crossed my bean plants will produce tons of beans for me this summer! Thank you for another wonderful video! 💚💚💚
The only crop i ever struggle with. I live in Tampa FL and I planted mine in June, the weather stays at 89-93 degrees and I made sure they got enough water and sun, still they keep dying and turning yellow. I used black kow compost as well as regular potting soil and peat moss.
Beans were the first plants I tried groWing on my own. I did nothing to my soil, and they were planted in July. They still did really well and gave me an amazing harvest. So I’m expanding the garden to include the other two of the 3 sisters power trio, as well as peppers and tomatoes.
The nodules on the roots are actually “safe houses” created by the plant to house Rhizobia bacteria. These bacteria, only when partnering with a plant and in the presence of a good bit of oxygen, will absorb gaseous atmospheric nitrogen and convert it into water soluble ammonia. The bacteria then hand over the ammonia to the plant for it to make amino acids, DNA and RNA, the energy molecule ATP, and many other vital molecules.
@@drumcrazy72 The bacteria mainly gains a stable, protected environment inside the nodule. Mycorrhizal fungi in the soil in symbiosis with plant rootlets receive exudate and sloughed off root tip cells for food.
Finally found the video I was looking for. Didn't want to hear all the stories about what's going on in your garden, blah blah blah. Great info and I hope to get a lot of beans here in Hawaii.
I started my beans indoors with just normal soil and they did amazing. So good I left them indoors because we had to plant them indoors because it was snowing. 1 year later they were doing great. We put them outside and we had a lot of transplant shock but they got better fast. We moved away from the house we planted it in so I hope it is doing good😅
Thanks for this video! I have a question about growing beans for seed saving ! You mentioned in your video about if you want the plant to produce more seeds because that is the Plants goal… Then you have to keep picking the beans . Now my question is this: Let’s say, I want to only harvest bean plants for their seeds…not so much for eating. Is it still worth picking the beans early to eat those and let the beans come back with more beans and harvest those? To harvest the seeds you need to let the plant die anyways ? Is there a method to do this or just let the plant produce beans and die and use for seed saving only? Wouldn’t you get MORE beans a second harvest anyways and use those ones for seed saving?
One of my favorite beans to grow is the Yard Long or Asparagus Bean. It is an Asian variety that can get 2 > 3 feet long and slender. They are delicious roasted with olive oil and garlic salt in the oven.
I have an old reliable pest control method I learned from my Grandmother 50 years ago. It works great on most of those little sap suckers, mites, thrips, aphids, white flies, etc. I use full strength Whole Milk in a pump sprayer. It can be old and spoiled doesn't matter. It turns out that the little pests breath through their feet, and the lactose in the milk plugs up the breathing apparatus, Who Knew ? Lactose intolerant insects.
Wow! This is the most information I've found on growing beans! I sure wish I wouldve found this video a few months ago! Mine have turned light green and yellow and I've tried all kinds of things to finally green them up, this video wouldve saved me a whole lot of headache! Thank you!!!
Brian, thank you for such informative videos; I've learned so much! One question: I'm hoping to grow a lot of beans for dry storage, does that change your tip for harvesting? I know that they should be left on the vine to dry, but should I still pick them frequently earlier in the season and then stop towards the end?
Great tips, Brian! I will be clipping my runner beans once they reach the top, don't usually do that! Excited to see the difference it makes in the harvest!
Thanks! I always figured that the reason my beans dried up and stopped producing at the bottom was because of our dry summer climate. But last year I clipped the tops and I got a much longer season of production!
Great tip, getting out the ladder and cut the top of my Kentucky Wonder pole beans in the morning got this tip just in time. They've always have gotten way too tall and can't reach the top and lose some.
I grow my pole beans in front of the chicken coop, that faces south. They grow up the fence and it gives some shade for the chickens. But I will do this for my bush beans that I grow with the other veggies.
I love your videos. Thank you, they have helped a lot. It’s early August and we have had 3 great weeks of picking our bush string beans. They are now producing small short beans and the leaves are turning brown rusty looking. Are they done for the year? Is there a way to extend the growing season? Can they be cut back and produce more in a few weeks. We live in Wisconsin so September is the end of our growing season.
Great video, I am growing lima beans, but the bottom leaves have rust I keep pulling off the bad leaves, spray with copper fungicide nothing seems to work what would you suggest? Thank You
Is it ok to put grass clippings around bean plants be they pole or bush? And I was told not to go near any bean plant that is wet . does touching a wet bean plant make it sick?
My Fava bean leaves have small brown spots encircled by a lighter green. Is that "rust"? What can I do to save my plants? They've just now started growing some pods and this is scarey. Thank-you for all your very helpful videos!
I have beans growing in fabric pots. They were growing perfectly fine and covered in buds. I moved them to a different part of the yard a few days ago because I needed them away from where they had been. Now all of a sudden the leaves are turning yellow in large patches and wilting, quickly moving from the bottom up. Any idea what could cause this?
I use small cardboard boxes I have from amazon packages. I can plant a "row" and then plant the box and all, into the garden in South Dakota! Doesn't disturb the roots but allows me to plant long before frost threats are past, in SD.
I'm working out of town and my brother is watering my garden. The bad news is that deer came in and ate the tops out of my beans and all of the corn which I had planted with the beans. Will the beans come back? I hope so. I will put up trellises and a fence of deer netting.
my beans plants are tall and have blooms butno beans they had everyhtign for soil put in and also giving them totmato fertilizer. Last year they produced so many this year none yet what could be the issue.? I sprayed the plants with neem ealier since beetles were lowing through
It's my understanding that an Innoculant is required for nitrogen fixation. Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli. Inoculants can be found at some seed company websites.
Hi Brian, My sister advised me to pinch out the tip of my runner bean seedlings at 12inches - planted inside as we had a long cold snap in the previous few weeks so i couldn't plant out. Will this cause an issue with growth? There is another what seems to be a leader grown about 4 inches since I did this but I'm concerned that this will impact the fruiting and growth overall. thanks!

how did planting the banana tree trunk by the green beans work out? you stated you would update, but I can't find it. seemed like a genius idea!
Hi Brian! Can you give us an update on how the seed bags worked? Thinking about trying them. Thanks!
Love your videos! You’re gonna grow in more ways than one! Thank you for this video. Im just getting my beans planted.
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
In winter, much of fall and spring, the ground is frozen solid and covered with snow where I live.

Can they be cut back and produce more in a few weeks. We live in Wisconsin so September is the end of our growing season.
Hi Brian
QUESTION
Is it OK to plant field peas in same raised bed as chives??
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I learn so much from ur explanation.
I’ve actually never had issues transplanting beans. I over planted one of my beds last year and dug up half of them and moved them and had no issues
Thanks for that comment I've already repotted up my beans and I was worried that would be a problem
I overplanted my direct sown beans. Now they're six feet tall. What to do?
Hi! Love your videos! I would love to know where you got your raised beds. I used to build my own, but those days are behind me. Thanks for your help.
I built them. 😟
Thank you Brian, another informative video.
Good video ,I hope to have a better harvest thanks
going to try pole beans this year. Do you need a pole or will they follow a string trellis?
Hi! Can you tell me if those biodegradable bags worked out? I haven’t seen your follow up comment on the result of your experience.

My Fava bean leaves have small brown spots encircled by a lighter green. Is that "rust"? What can I do to save my plants? They've just now started growing some pods and this is scarey. Thank-you for all your very helpful videos!
Useful tips. Thanks a million
Hello from the Philippines
How did the bags work? Never saw follow up video. Also won't the toilet paper rolls dissolve when the seeds are growing?.
I have beans growing in fabric pots. They were growing perfectly fine and covered in buds. I moved them to a different part of the yard a few days ago because I needed them away from where they had been. Now all of a sudden the leaves are turning yellow in large patches and wilting, quickly moving from the bottom up. Any idea what could cause this?
Excellent tips. Will follow some of your tips this year. Thank you. Please could you make a video on growing and pruning grapes. Thanks.
I would love to have grapes but I have to find a place to put them LOL
What bean are you growing there with the bright red flowers? Thanks for your videos!!!
Excellent job
I use small cardboard boxes I have from amazon packages. I can plant a "row" and then plant the box and all, into the garden in South Dakota! Doesn't disturb the roots but allows me to plant long before frost threats are past, in SD.
Wow, great idea❣️
I'm working out of town and my brother is watering my garden. The bad news is that deer came in and ate the tops out of my beans and all of the corn which I had planted with the beans. Will the beans come back? I hope so. I will put up trellises and a fence of deer netting.
Did the biodegradable pouches work?
my beans plants are tall and have blooms butno beans they had everyhtign for soil put in and also giving them totmato fertilizer. Last year they produced so many this year none yet what could be the issue.? I sprayed the plants with neem ealier since beetles were lowing through
It's my understanding that an Innoculant is required for nitrogen fixation. Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar phaseoli. Inoculants can be found at some seed company websites.
Hi Brian,
My sister advised me to pinch out the tip of my runner bean seedlings at 12inches - planted inside as we had a long cold snap in the previous few weeks so i couldn't plant out. Will this cause an issue with growth? There is another what seems to be a leader grown about 4 inches since I did this but I'm concerned that this will impact the fruiting and growth overall.
thanks!
Where’s the link for the mini starter you plan on using that you mentioned you got from Amazon for like $10, thx
Where I live our last frost is mid May, but I’ve had success direct planting beans. If only the bunnies would stop eating them, I’d be all set.
What do you think about soil inoculation for beans?.. Is it really necessary?.. Thanks! ♥
