Did you know that you can grow POLE BEANS over 15ft tall? Yes you can, and I will show you how in this episode of "Growing Organic". I highly recommend you try growing these 'Kentucky Wonder' pole beans. You will follow along the entire grow cycle over (2) month span. These are a great survival food as well, because the are an excellent source of protein, vitamin and minerals. These are organically grown right here in a small growing space in my backyard. This variety of pole bean is great for my USDA growing zone here in San Diego zone 10b by the Pacific Ocean. This variety is fairly pest resistant, high yield and grows tall vertically which saves you space in your garden. Vertical growing is crucial if you live in an urban environment in the middle of the city surrounded by apartment buildings and small backyards. Be sure to watch my video on "Making a Supersoil Mix". This is the soil mix I used to grow these pole beans.

    If they get too tall, if u clip the "leader" off, they might send out side shoots, & u won't have to reach so high & the harvest might be greater.

    I am new to gardening and also live in San Diego in Bay Park area. What I am enjoying is seeing what your growing since our climates are the same. I am just learning how many different names, kinds, or types there are for just one vegetable. I am growing vegetables in containers and appreciate your videos in helping new gardeners learn from your experience. I think it's great how people can grow food even in an urban city without much land.

    I just planted pole beans for the first time this year(I've always planted bush beans) I can't believe how well they grow, I have to go purchase more bamboo poles to add on. I love them!! 👩🏽‍🌾🧡💚

    Easy to grow and they are YUMMY too!
  • @lindakean7392
    Wow! Congrats on those. I never knew you could put three plants in a 5 gal bucket AND put carrots in there also. Good use of space. I will be checking out your soil mix bc mine are suffering some pest (bush beans) and lighter green leaves this year. New subscriber for sure!
  • @shaelstrata517
    Try putting a banana peel at the bottom of each pot, or other kitchen scraps, & some "fishing" worms. The worms will eat the scraps, & fertilize the plant. Also, shredded brown packing paper & shredded cardboard shipping boxes, make great mulch.

    Excellent video. I can’t believe you had this much success with 5 gallon grow bags! With three plants in each no less. Thank you for seeing us through to the harvest. So many people start videos like this and never show the end result. You transplanted these in to the grow bags right?

    I make soft T shirt rope to tie things on with. Nice video thanks.

    Next time you should trellis your beans over an arch, but looks great! I just started some of these pole beans from seeds and after watching your video I'm going to trellis my plants using some ladder mesh wire you can buy at home depot in the concrete building section.

    The grow bags stay cooler on the dirt than on top of concrete because concrete retains heat a lot better than soil does. That's why they like it better setting on the soil.

    Dark green means the beans are getting enough nitrogen. light green means the beans need more nitrogen

    Run several lines of rope from container to the wooden fence . This will give much more surface to vine and keep them lower and easier to harvest.
  • @NatureLover-ss4ef
    Hi, how many strings did you grow? I have a family of 4, would 10 strings be enough or is it too many ? Thank you .
  • @MarkSmith-qk2rl
    The legumes produce their own nitrogen ! Upon planting them you should give them a little extra potash and phosphorus ! I supplement with bone meal and fire ash that hasn’t gotten wet ! Thats all you need to do. Do not feed nitrogen or you won’t make beans ! You will have beans throughout the summer if yo keep them picked. If you let them over ripen they will quit producing ! Good luck

    the leaves on my pole beans are going yellow, then brown and crispy - any ideas how to fix it?
