      So a nice tip is when you bring home soil pour boiling water on your soil on a tarp and let it dry in the sun. Kills off any eggs or fungus. Dont forget to scrub your containers from last year before you plant.😊😊😊

    Never get tired of fresh green beans, they can be cooked so many good ways. Favs are teriyaki and bacon n onion. I want to try those dragon beans. Also asparagus beans. Biggest problem I’ve had here in south Florida is the hot wind, just general high heat, and the little containers dry out fast. You have a wonderful back yard.

      @jeannedinovo5543 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      To work with the hot winds, and sun scald you can buy a sheer woven sun cloth that you drape and secure to posts with clamps over your rows or patch. This lets in rain and plenty of sun, but minimizes any damage. There is a darker version if you want to maintain the HEAT in your rows to extend the growing season, of lettuces or second broccoli growth, or even tomatoes.
      Beans will continue to flower if adequate light and warmth is provided, so more beans to eat!
      Keep watered and work in a small handful of fertilizer (for flowers n vegetables) around each.

    I loved this video. This is the first year of my life and I'm 63, that I've had a run in with fungus knits, uggg. Thanks for your input about the cinnamon. My hubby wanted to buy chemicals to get rid of them, I'm not into that stuff. I also didn't realize you could grow so many bean plants together in such small a area. I can't wait to get started. Wish I was in your location, I'm in Kansas and it's late February, I'm so ready to get my garden going, my little green house is over flowing. Until next time, happy growing.

    • @macylouwho1187

      You can use a food container with small holes poked all over the top to get rid of fungus gnats. I use half warm water/half apple cider vinegar with a drop of dawn dish soap to break surface tension so they fall in and drown in the water/vinegar combo. They are super attracted to apple cider vinegar. I put a pinch of sugar or honey in if I really want to get them coming in quick to the trap. After they thin out, I dump it and rinse it for the inevitable surge of the next round of hatched gnats coming out of the soil. When that happens, I repeat the process. That usually gets rid of the whole batch of them and the problem is over. Cinnamon never worked for me in the house, apple cider vinegar worked far better and faster.

    I live in Florida and we have like 4 different types of fire ants on our property. I have a fire ant guy that comes and treats my property every 4 months but not around my garden. I use containers to garden as I am older and have arthritis and some mobility issues with my ankles and knees anymore. But I find those ants hate the smell of cinnamon. So I buy large containers of cinnamon and sprinkle on top of my containers and the ants stay out of them.

    • @TeamBensonHomestead

      So it would have been great but we had a crazy year of fires in California which made out weather terrible, also the bag soil I used from home depot was completely infest with everything and on top of all that since the fires affected our temperatures we had 70mph haboos roll in with 110 degree Temps.

    From what I've read, they are self-pollinated and it's rare for them to cross unless they are super super close together. But thanks for the video!

    Hi. I’m enjoying your video! I work in the Garden Department at one of The Home Depots Texas. I’m sorry the soil you purchased was wet. If you are ever not pleased with your item, you can easily return it. If you were my customer, I’d open a replacement for you to make sure it was wet. That way you would know for sure that you were getting what you want. Happy Gardening! 🌻

    I hate trying to grow anything that trails in containers. So this is great to know about the beans. I missed out on the stackable pots. They never keep enough stock in of what everyone wants. I see some halfway decent priced ones on Amazon, so I may order those.
    I hate those fungus gnats. Last year I got a lot of them. This year I did a ton of research to try and keep from getting them. I switched to Happy Frog potting soil and switched to coco coir to grow my seedlings in. So far, so good.

    I’m so glad you made this video because I was able to get 30 plants in 5 stackables and then 6 more in 2 other planters (I did that before realizing I can plant 2 seeds per side of the pot). Also I planted 10 strawberry plants/crowns in 3 stackables and they’re doing great! I drilled a hole in the center of 6 stackables and drove a 3’ rebar into the ground, placed a concrete block over it and slowly stacked the planters on top of the rebar and concrete block. This way they shouldn’t tip over in the wind (hopefully). I’ve heard you could also use a 2” x 12-18” length PVC pipe instead of the concrete block but I just had the block available. I can also rotate the planters fairly easily for the best sun exposure as needed. Still, it looks beautiful and I’m so happy with my beans growing out of these planters! I also planted my blackberry and elderberry crowns in my stackable planters for now until they get bigger and I can prepare their permanent spot on our property. Thank you again for making these videos because it has truly saved me so much money and trouble and gave me ideas to plant in a way of which I hadn’t thought. Watering goes very quickly as well and my plants are so easy to maintain. I have two GreenStalks as well and honestly these stackables are so great to work with and makes vertical growing so approachable on a strict budget. I don’t need to buy the Greenstalks anymore. Growing is so satisfying this way! Visually it’s also stunning to look out my window and see them. They’re just so aesthetically pleasing to look at!

    If you haven't tried them before, I think you may well like Red Swan beans too. They are prolific, pretty, and very tasty. They'll keep producing for ages.
