When would you replant green beans?
Comments (12)I agree with the ten day rule. if they havent popped by then, they arn't going to. Also, I stay away from bug killers. I use my old cranberry juice 64 oz bottles. just cut the bottom of and remove the label. Voila! instant cloque. That will pretect the young plants from almost all the bugs, as most are ground pests like snails and slug, and earwigs. the shape of the bottle lets them get nice and big before I have to remove it....See MoreLast plant date for bush beans?
Comments (7)I plant Tenderpod, Roma II, Early Bush Italian, and this year I'm trying Valentino. Usually I plant two varieties at each sowing (9 plants each). I do also have yellow wax beans, maybe half as many as the green beans. Maybe my soil is really good, or my family doesn't eat as many beans as others. We only have beans about 2 or three times a week, there are so many other veggies to eat too :-) So I find 18 plants every 2-3 weeks is enough beans for us....See Morewhat do y'all do when you've lost plants?

Comments (4)Thanks, Silverwind! That's the kind of answer I was looking for, because it was helpful! (For any moderators reading this, I ignored Risbyhuggins, because of course I'm going to remove dead plants and put somethins else in. If he'd actually had any intention of being helpful he'd have seen that I was looking for advice as to whether I should put more of the same or something else.) I have actually seen a perking-up in the garden since the storms passed and the draining has started. It has pointed out that the snow peas have had it, though! So I'm off to the local garden center to see if they have any snow peas. I'm a bit sad to give up the idea of growing the golden variety, but I can get over it! If I don't see any there, I'm going to try some of the seed I have left. Thank you again!...See Morehelp! my green bean plants are dieing!
Comments (4)Hi I am in Palm Springs, California and I just picked and ate the first Kentucky Wonder pole beans of the season. Also I was able to pick and eat the first okra. Got one new cucumber on the one vine that survived the summer. 8 great tomato plants are 12 foot high they are flowering now but no setting. the Sweet 100 tomatos are going great they are green now. Two egg plants survived the summer also. These plant will give us more than we can eat. They are in bloom now but as yet not fruit. Basil is great. One plant. I just got to keep picking it and keeping it from going to seed. I have one potato plant also. All these are planted in Two 8X4 raised beds. The supersweet 100 cherry tomatos are in one 4X4 raised bed. Also in the yard is one tangeringe grafted onto sour orange. A Lemon, Mexican Lime, valencia orange and grapfruit. There is a dwarf plumb tree as well. I think I lost to peach trees and one apple tree. I almost forgot I planted charlston grey watermellons as ground cover. They taste great. Any suggestion on what to plant and at what time would be great. Noeld Here is a link that might be useful: Tai Chi Education and Research Institute...See Moreknittlin
