My grandma told me back in the 70s (yes I'm old) she said pick early & often, it will cause the plants to produce more. Didn't understand this as a child but I've been gardening for close to 30 years & I'm so glad I have her knowledge & advice now. So glad I found your channel.

The beans I miss, I pick and put them on the ground to collect seed beans in the fall. I've planted off two packs for almost 10yrs😊

@destinycoach5 When I miss picking the beans in their prime, and they get way too big, I pull them off to dry in the sun. When they've dried, I save the beans for seed the next year. Keeping up with this practice, I think I've only needed to buy two packets of seeds over the last 10 years or so. Circle of life😁

Your last tip is soooo right! It is easy to slack on this but they really do grow fast. I like to go out around 6am every day to stroll through the garden with coffee and then harvest my beans because it's still cool and shady then so it doesn't feel so tedious. It's really a pleasure - not a chore

In this heat I find that if I water after all of the morning dew has evaporated I have a yard full of bees. The come for a drink and stay to work.

Thanks for another great video, Brian. My green beans were nearly destroyed last year by Japanese Beetles so I’m waiting until the buggers are about gone this year before planting any beans. I’m hoping to still get a crop with planting that late. I have such wonderful memories of sitting under a shade tree in the yard and snapping beans with my grandmother We always prepped canning out in the yard. When she would can peaches, she would peel and slice them in half and have me place the halves in the jars because my hands were so little I could reach to the bottom and turn them to fit more in each jar. Looking back as an adult, it wasn’t the most sanitary setup, but we never got sick from it, and it made beautiful memories. Hope you, Emilie and Noah are doing well. ❤️❤️❤️🌺🌹🌷

@@nanarose3496 ok thanks, maybe that’s good since I’m planting so late( monsoon here in Washington State)

I go ahead and shell the large beans and cook them in with the snaps. Very good.

I learned that about nitrogen this year. Half my beans were planted in freshly amended soil and the other half in soil I had amended in the early spring and had planted lettuce in. There was a noticeable difference and I had to amend the soil for those that were planted in the former lettuce bed. A lesson learned, and also a small win, since I correctly diagnosed the deficiency and was able to resolve it.

Great tips...thank you. I never knew beans were that thirsty so I will give them a good watering every 2 or 3 days. I love growing beans here in the sub-tropics. I can grow them even in winter and they are a great staple. I love them steamed and then tossed in olive oil, garlic and a little Dijon mustard. for some strange reason my cat lines up for a few as well..LOL.

All of my first crop of beans got rust. A 4x4 ft spot produced almost a 5 gallon bucket of beans, but then they all turned brown from the rust. I pulled them all, fertilizedthe area and planted another crop. So far, so good. Thanks for all your great into, Brian. I have learned so much from your videos.

You are my top go to gardening channel! We live for our green beans every year! Any advise to help keep them coming in healthy and longer is always appreciated! I did an experiment this year with 3 cattle panel trellises. Each with dug out holes at the bottom one deeper than the next. The deepest being 2 feet deep and the shallower half a foot! The shallower one has browning leaves at the bottom. So I found that they like deeper beds for the roots. The ground here is impossible to grow in, there is so much clay and rock. When I started my garden I did however have a huge pile of 10 plus year old horse manure that I get my dirt from and a new compost system. Needless to say my garden grows a little bigger every year.

Tough gardens are the best! They make a person cry in the moment but the next the you know, your heart is singing.💚🍅💚 I have the same situation plus very mature weeds & seeds like burdock, Johnsongrass, crabgrass,lots of tough grasses I can't name, much more. I saw a video, I'll try to find it, which has helped me in 3 mos turn 1800' of bare* hardpacked clay to lovely beds, quite easily. 1) Loosen, don't turn, the soil with your fork the size of the bed. 6"-8" apart is fine, more if you like. This will give your tight clay drainage and cracks and crevices so it can breathe...and of course those same cracks are invitations for earthworms to crawl in. The video says you can leave the vegetation for the worms. I had a few areas with encroaching crabgrass, etc, and removed it, and the worms are still happy! 2) Strew this area with weed leaves (dandelion, burdock, grass, etc), sticks, dead leaves, whatever you have. Add some compost, manure, purchased compost in a thin layer and water it with fertilizer water, worm casting tea, compost tea, what you have on hand. 3) Cover this with wet paper. Her vid shows shingles of 10-ply newspaper, top going under bottom. I now have lots of weeds in the bed I did that way, and anyway I ran out of newspapers! I bought yard waste bags, wet them down, and peeled them apart at the glue seams, beginning at the bottom. Their size is a bonus and they are rugged two-ply. 4) Re-wet the paper, put on @ 1-2" of clean compost or manure, and water again (with tea or water). Tuck the edges of the paper under the pile. It should be something of a mound by now...6"-9". 5) Whatever you're planting, you'll need to get a tool to penetrate the paper. If you're planting starts, a garden knife, trowel, or old kitchen knife is good for the job. Decide where you want your plant to go and cut an X down through the bed and the paper. Pull the paper back, fill in with compost to the level of the start's roots, set it in and cover it. With seeds, just use a punch or strong stick for larger seeds, fill in with compost to the recommended depth of seed planting, and cover. For tiny seeds like carrots or onions, cut a line through the paper, and fill with compost and proceed as above. Make sure you fertilize these beds thoroughly as part of their construction. I have three cabbage beds with lime, veg food, & bone meal in the bed and in each hole. All my previous cabbages have failed...these are great! Just one example. (Shout out to Brian, CA Gardener, re the bone meal!)

I have had more fun with the pollinators in my garden this year. I am deathly allergic to bees, but honestly, when they are working around the blossoms they could care less about me and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching them do their job. Your bumble bee spot made me laugh :). I just love your videos. Thank you for the info on beans! We grew pole beans this year and they really have not been producing very well . . . I am not sure what is causing our lack of beans, but I will definitely work on making sure they beans stay watered, that I pick off the old leaves and I spend time every morning picking what I find. THANKS AGAIN :)

Flowering perennial and annual herbs are also great for the bees. I always grow sunflowers marigolds and herbs throughout my veggie garden.

Thanks for informative video Brian. I spent part of my childhood in green bean country (Western NY) and you’re spot on about watering. The commercial fields were planted along the river in this black, muddy soil and throw in an average of 167 days with some precipitation the beans loved it. After the harvester came through my mom, sis and I would pick a bushel basket full from the edges of the field. We had enough canned green beans to feed an army! I’m growing “Fortex” pole beans. Very productive and the beans stay tender even when they get 8-10” long. We pick ‘em as fillet beans when they’re 4-5” long.

Great info again Brian, thanks. Moisture is not our peoblem here. I harvested my very first french beans yesterday - 3 each for dinner, LOL. They were so tasty! My climbing beans have taken a terrible battering from the cold winds and rain we have had all through June and into July now. I put a fleece blanket around them on their teepee and have only just taken it off after a month. They are still there but no beans yet. Hopefully soon.

Last year I bought a six pack of bean plants from the local plant place and I think I got three beans out of it. I get one plant to my neighbor and she got one this year. I’m going with seeds and letting them do their own thing.

Hi Brian, I'm a new viewer and absolutely love you and your videos. I grew up in the south and helped my parents plant multiple gardens every year. However that has been about 45 years ago. My favorite vegetable was the pink eye purple hull pea. I am trying to plant some this year. I'm finding out that these are really beans and commonly called cow peas. I assume they should be planted according to your bean videos but I would really like to see a video specifically on the pink eye purple hull cow pea ( bean) if possible. Many thanks for your channel. I really am enjoying getting back into gardening and growing my own food. It is so rewarding. Bless you !!!

Inspiring garden. Thanks

I planted lake bush and dragon tongue beans in about 6 different locations of my garden and so far have had mixed results. Definitely learning for the coming year.

My Contender & Blue Lake bush beans aren't producing as much as they did the first 3 rounds of blossoms so I'll be pulling them out in a day or two. I'm replacing them with purple pole beans after I amend the soil. As always, your video was timed perfectly. Love watching your videos and you ALWAYS give me great advice & ideas for my garden.

SoCalSurfer69 Hi. I’m in the IE as well. We can grow just about anything year round. It’s been 90-95 here on a daily basis but everything is growing well, summer and winter squash, pole beans, artichokes, and several varieties of melons. I put in my cool weather garden around October 12 and get yields within a few weeks.

I totally agree! I have 28 feet of Bush beans, and just picked the first harvest here in zone 5 last night. I ended up with 2 gallons of nice beans, just from that first picking. There are lots of flowers, and I picked them well, to tell the plants to keep producing. I planted these in my in ground garden this year, sometimes I use my big raised beds, but wanted to replenish some soil. And even when I’m not watering my tomatoes or peppers, I still go in and give the beans water, along with the squash, melons, and cucumbers etc. It’s important to know which are your heavy water drinkers, and which aren’t, and really try to water by that for best results. Happy gardening everyone!! 👍🌷🍀🌻🍅🍉🌱👌

I definitely needed this info. I was wondering why my pole beans weren't doing as well as I thought they should. I think I'm underwatering and don't have enough fertilizer/compost in the soil. I was going by the - oh I thought they could take care of themselves.....

I have had an onslaught of japanese beetles. I was making many, many trips to the garden every day on bug patrol. They basically decimated the top leaves of my beans. The only thing that worked was to have a squirt bottle with water and dish soap in it. I would squirt them liberally. That really slowed them down and if I couldn't reach them to throw them in a bucket of water, they would eventually fall down and die. I'm hoping that the top of my large plant will bounce back. The whole thing doesn't seem to be producing as well as I thought. Thanks for the great tips. Love your channel.

Thanks for the tips. I want to grow string beans

I love all the valuable tips you gave on growing beans! One question for you: my loofah plants have reached the top of their teepee, do I need to cut the top of the plants in order to have them bloom and fruit? I have not seen any bloom yet so far.

My beans seem to be doing great. I harvest every two days. I've planted Mississippi Purple Hull Peas which I've always called Crowder peas, pole beans and speckled butter beans. They seem to be producing longer this time. However, my yellow squash have not done well. They flowered alot and even had tiny squash on some of them. Most would turn to mush and i have only gotten a few good ones from them. I noticed fuzzy mold and some tiny worms almost like maggots on some of the gross dead ones. Which totally freaked me out on so many levels. 😆 Which led to me just pulling them up completely. All in all... I've been mostly disappointed about my garden. I do know my soil is severely lacking. I had it tested and prepared my soil accordingly. Although i evenly distributed to required nutrients, it's as if some areas got the right amount, other areas seemed as if it were too much or too little. I have flowers in my garden and herbs that are both a pest repellent and pollinator attractant. Pollinators are having a blast and sometimes want to get a little "froggy" with me. 😆 I have a huge compost pile I started this spring. Once my garden is finished producing i will be spreading it and tilling it into my soil. I know that was long but I say that so you will know some of what I've dealt with in hopes of getting your opinion on how to prepare for next time or what can be done or could i do to help what remains now. I would like to have a huge truck load of good top soil brought in to help for next time. Thoughts amd advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

I really enjoy it ur videos.

I couldn't find affordable inocculant in local gardening stores. The small packs were expensive. Ordering online, I found a packet sufficient for 50 lbs. of seeds for $12. Hopefully, keeping it in the fridge will allow it to last for several years. My 45 feet of double row (8" apart rows, w/soaker hose in between, 3" per bean) Blue Lake Bush are looking promising loaded with blossoms and tiny beans. Fortunately, this area has many beekepers and their bees find their way to my garden reliably. I'm getting into saving seeds from several crops here. Plan is to harvest next year's bean seeds after the end of green bean season.

Thanks for GREAT info on so many topics. My beans produced a lot this summer-I got them in earlier than ever before -North Carolina - the beans kept coming and then the runners started - I was so confused - never seen the runners before!

Is the round thing a seed to plant for beans next year or is it only the seeds in the pods? Love the channel!!

Pardon me if you've answered this question in the video, I may have tuned out when you did. I've got bush beans that flowered way too soon. I bought them from a nursery and they were already planted in those little six pack thingies. Clearly I am so experienced. Anyway, I later learned it's better to just do direct into the ground. I should have transplanted them sooner but they started flowering in the six pack thingies. Is it too late? Should I take the flowers off? I No people prefer to plant pole beans as they save space but I was up for the adventure.

thank you so much as always, Brian! i thought id leave a follow up question on here for you or any of your subscribers.... i have a pest issue with my beans this year, primarily with the bush varieties i planted but it has also affected the pole beans (which are planted in another area of the garden so it is possible it would have been/could still get worse if the pest finds them...) and I can't tell what it is. It essentially causes the leaves to become thin and begin to curl in from the edges and die. then the whole stem attached to the triple leaf will also wilt and die like it is draining the plant from the leaf towards the main stem. i cant find any visible (w the naked eye) insect but it almost seems like it might be something that mines the leaves. i also mention that bc the plants that were worst affected were near some chard that ive since learned is a major leaf miner target for me at this time of year, maybe the same fly/whatever it is also liked the beans? it has really been awful for some of my plants. since earlier this season, I have had luck keeping chard healthy under tulle fabric and will be trying that w new bean plants going forward but just thought I'd pose the question here as well in case you have experienced this or in case anybody can relate or has any ideas in terms of identification and/or management. I am in the SF Bay Area ... maybe it's a regional thing. Thank you again for all you do for us!

My beans haven’t bloomed yet. I have pole beans on teepees. They are o er 6 feet tall. I planted them on Memorial Day weekend here in Michigan and they were started from seed. Should I pinch the growth at the top? The only fertilizer I have given them is fish fertilizer.it has been very hot here. In the 90’s for over two weeks which is unusual for us.

I have a question about the finger method. Most of my plants are in containers. I felt moisture at the tip of the finger, but the soil was dry down to that tip. Is that good or bad?

Oops! This video came just in time. I planted both red and green Chinese Long Beans and when I missed a few that were ready to pick they became very long and very bumpy beans practically overnight. I figured it would be fun to leave them on the vines and harvest them later once the bumps have developed into individual beans and the pods have dried. I did not realize that strategy would send the plant the message that it’s job was done and it could take an early retirement from bean production. I jumped out of bed, went out to my vegetable garden, and picked them. Now, I am wondering if I can use the beans that had developed inside a fully dried pod as seed for next year.

I’m struggling BAD with my beans this year. 🙁 Rust is fighting back HARD for some reason. I’m clipping all the sick leaves and have sprayed them with a rust fighter.🤷🏻‍♀️
