No need to soak them, they sprout quickly in warm weather. However, experiment and see what works best for you! Thanks for watching!

I’ve been sitting on Bush bean seeds for far to long! They went right in the ground after this video 😍

In my 34 years of teaching, I've always used beans as a science experiment with my students, but never grown them for myself. Now that I'm retired, I decided to give gardening a try (I'm growing in containers). I have the same sense of wonder my students did watching these seeds germinate and grow. Once they get started it's crazy! Looking forward to my first harvest. My next planting will include spinach along with more beans.

I harvested my first green beans today and I’m soooo happy. I must admit that it was my third time trying though. I just filled my self watering pots with soil and put the seeds in there. Then the magic began👍👍👍

Wow I definitely got to add beans to my garden, never really been that interested in beans until watching this...... thank you Kim really awesome video inspiring me to grow my own beans 😁💚💚.

I still have to plant rows of beans in my in ground garden, because even just the two of us go through those like crazy. We eat canned beans as a side during the Winter, but fresh in the Summer, we’ll make a big pot of them, and it takes a lot of beans, so I use a little chicken base, and a little ham base, onion powder, & 3 TBSP Butter, with either a pound of cooked bacon or I’ll use ham, and I cook them in the pressure cooker until really tender, and I love to have this as a meal in the Summer, with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden as a side.:) I started a 2nd session of Noodle beans in a separate arched bed in late June, but I’m zone 5, so no Fall garden here. I’m going to get some of these pots to plant peppers and some other things that I can’t fit into my garden and raised beds for next Spring. I have so many new things that I want to try, above the old standards that I grow, I’m going to need a lot of these bagged pots..Lol 👍

Kim, I found you a few weeks ago and for the first time since I moved into this house, I feel confident we can garden. Our pool deck covers most of the usable yard and critters eat whatever I plant in the ground. I had no idea fabric pots were a thing! I’ve got your container seeds and late summer seeds going. The squash, cukes, and basil have popped their little heads up! Every day I look for beans, zinnias, and the peppers. They should germinate soon, I planted them a week ago. I think I can plant more plants per container then I originally thought. I was planning on 2 plants per 10 gallon pot, but maybe I can get 4 or 5 in there. Is there a rule of thumb to go by? Thanks! (We don’t live far from you, so seeing what you’re doing in your garden in real time is super helpful!)

We like to cook our fresh green beans from the garden in a wok or skillet. Cook on medium high heat with a splash of avocado oil. Add finely diced garlic, slivered almonds, a touch of salt, pepper, and if you're into it, a little onion powder. Takes about 15 minutes. Add the almonds and garlic about halfway through. Give it a shot.

Snap off the end that was attached to the plant but leave the pointy end! Lots of nutrients in there too!

Wow so if you have room for a few of those 3 ft smart pots you could have a salsa garden in one, about 10 green bean plants in another and maybe a squash or zucchini plant in another with a cucumber vine. That's a decent amount of produce in a very small space!

Summer savory is the herb I add to the beans when I cook them. Where I come from we call the herb „beans herb“. ( Bohnenkraut). Once you try it, you won’t go back cooking them without.

I agree that beans need a lot of water. I planted bush beans in two different spots, one of which got regular watering and the other not so much. The beans that received regular watering produced twice as many beans as the ones that didn't receive as much water.

The last time I had a plot at the community garden, I grew both bush beans and bush peas. I had to replant the peas, though because the quail go to the seeds. So after i replanted, I covered them up with chicken wire and that trick worked. I didn't get a lot of either the peas or the beans. I'm not sure why, unless it was a weather-related issue. I still got some, though.

Hi Donna, so sorry to hear about the garden challenges. Your plants might not be producing for a few reasons: lack of pollinators, too hot (flowers tend to dry up in temps over 90 -use shade cloth) or not enough water. Hopefully you'll have some to harvest soon! Thanks for watching!

Hi CaliKim I never knew beans would be so easy to grow! I’m looking forward to doing this with my two children. We like to sauté them with diced bacon and garlic! When you were harvesting the beans, did you leave an inch or so of the vine on the plant? Will it grow again on the same spot?

I can’t seem to get my beans to stand straight up like yours. Is there a trick to it? Mine always fall over.

I have a some 4ft coffee bean bags. Would those work as well instead of pots? Edit: I googled it and yes it can be done. Plus I learned they can be used to prevent weed growth and we can Use the string holding the sack together to tie plants to stakes!

I’m starting beans today in cloth pots and hoping for a better result than I had this summer! How many plants can a 10-gallon container support, given regular feeding with VermisTerra?

Sauté with a little onion and garlic in a little olive oil then add a can or two of petite diced tomatoes a pinch of salt and two pinches of sugar. Simmer until nice and soft and sauce is thickened. Top with fresh basil. So good.

Do you know of any cost effective means to filter or remove the chlorine from our city water so I can use the hose when I need too? Thanks for your help.

Did you buy neem oil and just add to a water spray bottle? Also if a patio doesn't have a covering for shade, should the pot of beans stay in the sun all day or just rotate it and pull to a shaded area after a certain amount of time? If growing inside house do we simply add water when needed and keep by a sunny area? I've had it sitting in the kitchen table but today because i figured it be better to actually get some fresh air...I took it outside to sit in the sun for a little and was going to bring it back in. I dont feel it will make since to continue bringing it in and out the house but I suppose since the front of the house has a covering I can leave it out there and pull into shade so it doesn't dry out.
