Keep Your Beans Producing All Summer!!! Organic Gardening for Beginners on How to Grow Beans.

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😊

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.

I planted my bush beans very densely this year and am noticing a lot of yellowing leaves at the bottom. Thank you for your informative video! Now I know I have to fertilize asap

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

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. ❤️❤️❤️🌺🌹🌷

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

Thank you! I think I passed up on this video several times because I live in Philadelphia Pa and thought California gardening doesn't apply to me. Well this info does apply and I wish I watched this before today! I'll start watching your videos now.

Thank you for this! I think you solved the mystery of what happened to my beans this summer.

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.

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

Perfect timing for us as our been plants are ready for their 1st harvest! Our first time growing them. Thanks again for the idea of stringing our tomatoes!!!! They've taken off! We really grew a lot of different vegetables and fruits this year!

First time growing beans. They are surprisingly very healthy. Awesome tips.

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.

Thanks for the tips. I love that you put effort into trying to catch that bumblebee!
