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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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'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!
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!
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?
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!
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.
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 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😅
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 ❤
Hi! I grew my beans inside in March, put outside in May Ohio ! They are huge put the. On a TP and it’s huge ! But no flowers ! It is growing off TP and circling back down !WHY NO FLOWERS FOR BEANS 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️. OH YOU JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION 🙋🏼♀️😍😍😍 Lol 😂😍😍😍😍
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?
HELP! 1st time growing italian flat beans inside a greenhouse. Did teepee setup, plants have grown, but now the tops have entwined themselves on the top greenhouse rod and is a complete mess. We have now removed the tarp of the greenhouse so only the structure (rods) remain, but it is impossible trying to unwind/remove the tops that have entangled themselves on the top rods. Can I just cut them off, or what can I do please? THANK YOU.
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.
Those little fiber pots are terrible, they don't biodegrade at all. I've been pulling them out of my beds every spring and fall for years now. I looked into it the first year and they're actually made of polyester, hello microplastic... 🤢
Great video, thank you. Subbed. Question, if i want my beans to mature (for storing or for refried beans later on), how do i leave them while not hindering productivity? Thank you for any guidance
That's a tough one. You might want to grow some extra for that specific reason and then maybe toward the end of the season let all of the last ones stay on
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.
I have a raised bed, my green beans are running everywhere with white flowers, I got 1 yes 1 green bean. Why are my plants not producing beans? i have fed them bone & blood meal & miracle grow once a week to once every 2 weeks. I have round tomato cages they are growing up & on but trying to take over my tomatoes & cucumbers as well as my sunflowers with their fingers they grow. They are strangling anything they can. I keep untangling them daily but with no production they seem more of a pain then a pleasure. help!
tried those bags last year for growing parsnips.planted in early spring and harvested late- middle winter.parsnips grew well in these bags but didnt brake down very well .it was a pain tearing the bags off the parsnips.so not impressed and wont use again..btw.I'm writing from the midlands uk
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!
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
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.
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?
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.
The last few years that I planted pole beans the plants grow like crazy but I get few or no blossoms and no beans. Sometimes they wait until September to blossom and set fruit but not very much. I generally plant Blue Lake or Kentucky Wonders planted in late April to early May in zone 5b. Any Ideas?
Hunter 4559 too much nitrogen in the soil. High nitrogen feeds the leaves not the beans. Same thing happened to my sweet potatoes. All leaves but very little potatoes.

@@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.
Yeah that's what he said ..they help the plant ..lol
Is that the same with snow peas? Should I cut the top of the vine when it reaches the top of support structure?
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
cool Thank you
Do Blue Lake green beans need a trellis? How tall do they become?
What do u mean clip the top?cut?
Why do they start turning yellow? Mine are turning yellow I assumed they were burning up in the sun
Can you use corn as a trellis?
You sure can. I'm going to be doing that a week from Sunday!
@@NextLevelGardening I'm gonna plant my corn in bags on part of my front lawn that gets a lot of sun, I love your chanel!

These bags are not actually biodegradable but usually roots manage to get through them.

Thanks for that comment I've already repotted up my beans and I was worried that would be a problem
