- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Knowing when to harvest or pick green beans is easy when you know what to look for. In this video I show you how I decide if my green beans are ready or not. Some people call them snap beans, some call them string beans, either way knowing when to pick them is critical. For best flavor picking at the right time is important. Green beans are an easy vegetable to grow. And should be in everyone's garden. One of the best vegetables for all gardener is the common green bean.
So glad to see you again. I told my husband Gene just yesterday that I hope you and your wife were doing okay. He said you were probably just busy with your gardens. As always enjoyed your video . Good information and everything looks beautiful. Thanks
Hello LP and how are you doing? We are doing good. The weather is mixed up, was too hot and now too much rain. No telling what comes next. Yes, I have been busy, still planting my garden in between rains and storms.

Great to know.... I sure do have a lot of memories of being in the pea patch with my mama, but we picked purple hull peas. My favorite! Thank you for another great video!
Penny, I used to grow Purple Hull peas also. Then one year I grew Black Eye peas and harvested them as you would Purple Hulls. After that I never grew Purple Hulls again because I liked the Black Eye peas, at the shell out stage, better.
OAG
That is a very good and informative video.
Thank you.
OAG
Great video. This is the first year I've grown these and wasn't sure when to pick them. I've been picking them too early. I just did not want the strings. Thank you.
Hello and welcome to my videos. Green beans (also called snap beans) can be picked too early or too late. The trick is to get them at just the right time. If you let the vines get dry, the beans will be tough and stringy no matter when you pick them. Thanks for watching, Please subscribe.

@@OldAlabamaGardener ..THANK YOU...!!
Gorgeous plants and beans. You introduced me to Rattlesnake a few years ago and I've never looked back. It's the only green green bean I grow (I also grow purple Trionfo Violetto, but RSPB are still better). For dried beans I grow True Red Cranberry and Good Mother Stallard. Also put in Christmas Lima and Cherokee Trail of Tears. Few things make me happier than my bean tunnels and I wouldn't ever have tried if I hadn't seen your videos. When you share your knowledge and experience you make people happier and improve their lives more than you'd ever know. May those blessings come back to you and yours.
Thank you for all your kind and encouraging words. I am happy if I shared something with you that helped you in life.
OAG
I can tell by the growth your beans was in the ground before mine, good info and perfect timing. My rattlesnakes are coming in now but just a few look ready. I made an arch the pole beans is up the side but not started across yet. Your buddy at Garvins sold me some Azomite he opened a 50# bag just to sell me 5#. I told him you recommended and I believe he's using it now.
Garvin's is a great store, his opening a 50 pound bag to see you 5 pounds is just one example of what they do to serve their customers. I started my green beans on 5 April, in the house, under grow lights. When my okra comes in, I plan to present a class at Garvin's on how to can okra. I use Azomite in every planting that I do. I think we have had enough rain for now!

Doc: A couple months ago I asked you if you knew what your blood level of vitamin D was? you said you were getting some blood work tests done and would let me know. So, what were the results?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener I just pulled up my chart from Dec. in Vanderbilt and does not show a vitamin D count, I also just had a sample at Clearview in Decatur last Wednesday and talked to the Dr. she told me my blood work was good and of course I forgot to ask about the vitamin D part.
@@docriordan7787 I understand. Most of the doctors don't even have it checked. Just one word of caution: What the doctors tell us is good, for some thing may not be good. For example: The doctors think a blood level of 25 to 30 ng/ml is good, but that is in the deficient range, especially if you are battling cancer. Your body needs vitamin D to perform over 1,000 functions. If you are low those functions either don't work or don't work well. What is your C-reactive protein (CRP) level? CRP is a measure of inflammation in your body. It needs to be under 1.0. Anything over 1.0 is on the road to a blocked artery in my opinion. But I am not a doctor,I am just talking about my own experience.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener That one does not show on my chart, it does show protein total which is in the middle of the range. Just a FYI........I have been clear and clean for 5 years now and my wife has been clear of the same cancer for 1 year. I call that a double blessing.
When I was a child I used to help my grandma snap piles of green beans for canning. My fingers used to get so sore from snapping what seemed like endless amounts of beans.

@@nikmidclayton5933 Horse radish is an easy plant to grow. It will spread, so be sure to plant it where it will be for a long time. It probably will not need much if any fertilizer. Composted manure will benefit it.

I’m so glad you messaged me!! I have already learned something! I have been picking rattle snake pole beans to late. I stopped growing them cause they was stringy ... 🤗
Another viewer said this about green beans, that you should pick then before they look pregnant, or means when the small beans begin to show as small bulges in the bean sides. The other thing that will cause your beans to be stringy is to let the plants get dry. I am happy if I helped you with your garden. If you have questions, please ask me, I may not always know the answer but if I do, I am happy to share with you.
OAG
Thank you so much ....
Your garden always looks so good and healthy. We've gotten way too much rain up here and my garden looks horrible. I hope I can salvage some of it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Sir
Says a lot about modern grocery store canned beans - because most are now canned stringy beans (picked too late). And I picked green beans growing up - and well know what is a fresh bean - and what becomes a stringy (good for seed) bean !
You are right John, and add to that, the store bought beans are contaminated with Round-Up. Round-Up is proven to cause cancer.

Hello Dan, I had quite a few comments asking about know when to pick the beans. Leslie's was one of the last.

OldAlabamaGardener I’m so thankful Charles...Timing is everything... but when emergencies come up at Tanners and I can’t be in the garden...a lil frustrating...but we are blessed...some things are doing well... not so on others... ✌🏻❤️hi to Mrs.H
You sure have a healthy Rattlesnake green bean patch! Thanks for the tips.

Thanks for this tip, I grew some for the first time this year and let them grow into right whoppers a foot long and an inch across... wondered why they didn’t fit in the peeler, they’re inedible because they’re so stringy. But the bean seeds themselves are big and fat and edible, so not all is lost!
Yep, most every vegetable has the prime time to pick it. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.

Hey Charles!! Hej hej from Sweden!! I definitely let my green beans stay on the vine too long last year. I’ll try again this year when I get home 🤗 hope everyone is doing well!!
Hello Patti. I saw your posts where you were getting ready to travel. I bet you are having a great time! Be safe!

Hello Rick, yep, that snap is what you want to feel and hear. Hope you are doing well.

Thank you so much OAGardener for that great lesson on when exactly to pick them!! 😃 How often do you fertilize your green beans and what do you use (13-13-13?) and how much fertilizer?
I usually fertilize only at planting time. Yes, I use a little triple 13 and I also use rabbit manure, worm castings and some other additives. I will make a video on how I grow green beans.

Very nice information 👍😊 mine just starts to produce tiny beans as my plant was attacked by the beetles earlier of the season. TFS ... Alice
Hello A. Once the beans start producing you can pick every 2 to 3 days. Be sure to water the plants if it gets dry.
C.
Do you fertilizer them while growing, if so which fertilizer do you use?
Thanks
No, I fertilize only at planting time. Thank you for watching, please subscribe.
OAG
Do you use fertilizer when the Green bean's are up good. How often
R.I.P Brother
With the one that are stringie would they be fine for making french style bean maybe for freezing
Perhaps they would be okay for that purpose, you can try it and see what the result will be.
OAG
OAG, my squash and zucchini are doing ok. Did you ever plant some more in mid summer? Do you ever direct plant the seeds?
Hello Teija. Yes, last year I planted in July. Many years ago I would direct plant seeds, but in recent years I always start in soil blocks and pots. Thanks for watching. Beside you are subscribed, because sometimes RUclips unsubscribes people. Thanks.
OAG
Will they snap if it is too early to pick them?
Do you have any insecticide or repellent suggestions for cucumber beetles? My beans were great until my plants became infested with them a couple weeks ago and now I'm noticing issues on the beans themselves and the plants.
Yes, I recommend Pyola. You can buy it at www.gardensalive.com

OAG
If the beans start wrapping around each other, does that effect the production or harm the plant?
No, Amy, that is a natural tendency of climbing plants. It provides additional support for the vines as they produce the beans. Actually, it is a good thing for the plants to do. Thank you for watching my videos. Please subscribe.

Planted some but soon as they come up something eats them, any suggestions on how to stop this.
Hello and welcome to my videos. It depends on what is eating the bean plants as they come up. If it is a Groundhog (Woodchuck), trappings is one way. If it is a rabbit or deer go to Lowes and buy a product called Deer Off, spray your plants with it and the deer and rabbits won't eat it, but it is not harmful to humans. If it is cut worms buy a product called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and spray the ground with it, it is not harmful to humans. I think that covers the most likely critter that are eating your plants. Please subscribe as I will be uploading more videos as the summer growing season comes on.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Thank, didn't know I could treat the ground with BT, will give it a try. I have huge grasshoppers to sure hope it works on them. I am subscribed to your channel and leave love your videos they're very informative.
@@altheamcdougal1327 Normally BT is used on the leaves of a plant. But you need to try anything you can to save your plants. Do you know what Cut Worms are? If you do and you don't think that is the pest, then there is no need to spray the ground with Bt. No, Bt probably won't work on the grass hoppers. For the grass hoppers I would use a contact insecticide named: Pyola. You can buy Pyola at www.gardensalive.com
Mix and spray it right on the grasshoppers because it is a contact only insecticide. Which means it has to get on the insect to kill it. Just spraying the leaves won't do anything to the grasshoppers.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Thanks so much for the info, will give it a try to save my plants, I'm growing to feed my family not the bugs, Happy Gardening!
I completely understand. Let the bugs eat weeds, not my vegetables.

Help! I've got Bean Foliage lots of Foliage but No Beans. Never had this problem before. Some seeds came from different seed packs, some came from store bought ready to cook beans, lots of very nice foliage, no beans. Help. Cucumbers growing right beside them are doing very well.
Lots of foliage usually means too much nitrogen fertilizer. What kind of fertilizer are you using? If you appreciate my videos please subscribe and watch as I will be uploading more videos as the summer growing season comes on. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener 13 13 13 but I was late to fertilize, I didn't until plants were two to three feet tall. I'm wondering if the seeds I planted were GMO/made not to reproduce. For years I've planted beans from ready to cook from the grocer. I did the same this time along with seeds from Burpee, Ferry Morse, MIgardener.
@@OldAlabamaGardener Wonder, Not seen Bees this year, my tomatoes aren't fruiting very well either, maybe it's Bees or lack of bees.
@@daledurbin2354 Tomatoes are wind pollinated, so they don't need the bees. Green beans are also wind pollinated, but you will see the bees on the blooms. The bees might help some but are not necessary for the green beans to produce. Triple 13, the fertilizer you are using, is pretty high in nitrogen, 13%. Too much of it would produce a lot of foliage. So, the question is:How much did you put to the beans? I don't use store bought beans for seeds because when they are almost read for harvest, they are sprayed with Round-Up on the plants to remove the foliage and to dry the beans before harvesting.
OAG
why would my snaps not have beans inside
It could be different reasons. 1) The beans could be too small yet to make beans. 2) It could be they needed more water. 3) It could be the type or variety you are growing. Without me being there it is impossible for me to know.
