Had to stake my bush beans....have I done something wrong?
Comments (2)Krista, I doubt you did anything wrong and think it likely that it is just the wind causing the issues. The wind here just isn't kind to anything these days....(sigh).....or most days. I usually don't stake bush beans, though at some times in the past I did so to keep them up off the ground. My ultimate solution was to plant more of them and plant them more closely together so they all hold each other up. That's one way to deal with it. They'll still produce fine even if lying flat on the ground, but when they fall over and lie on the ground, pests can climb onto the plants more easily. Bean plants that are lying on the ground also are more prone to foliar diseases. You can help prevent that by mulching the ground around them so that when it rains, the raindrops don't splash disease microorganisms up from the soil onto the plants. Now, as time goes on if you get all leaf and no flowers or beans that could be a sign of too much nitrogen in the soil, but if that is an issue, only time will tell. Sometimes the plants just make such good growth after rainfall or irrigation that they get topheavy and fall over. As the season goes on and the main stems get stronger, they usually won't fall over as much. I try to plant the bush beans in an area where they get some wind protection, but depending on how open your garden is to wind, that's not always a possibility if you're on flat, exposed land with nothing around to serve as a wind break.

Comments (1)It probably had some kind of varnish on it and when you sanded it off the bare wood absorbed the oil and darkened but the parts with varnish didn't. I‘ve used danish oil once and the wood stayed darker. Since it penetrates into the wood stripping and sanding will probally both be needed to remove it but how thick is your veneer? Alternately you could sand the rest, oil and the whole thing will be darker....See More- 5 years ago
