I live in Houston and have harvested my beans about six times already, just delicious, planted bush variety from Hoss tools did great.
Great job Scott
I've grown "Lazy Housewife" climbing french bean now for 5 years, it's stringless, and even when it gets big, it's still tender. And they get very big if you leave them. It has a wonderful flavour too. Well worth a try. Extremely heavy cropper too.
I seriously appreciate your laid-back approach to gardening, the way you work with Mother Nature, and the way you understand plants. It's very empowering. Case in point, I up-potted a bunch of crowded tomato starts in pots that a friend had given me. I'd been told never to tear them apart at the roots, but per your video I did just that, and they're doing so well, I'm going to have to give a bunch of them away! For this old gardener, you make a lot of sense!
I think I planted my beans too early, before the soil was warm enough and they rotted rather than sprout. Ok, time to replant.
Wow Scott they look great. With butter and bacon, Yum.
Hi Scott - I use Jim Crockett s advise for bush beans. I dig a trench with my hoe about 3-4” deep. Then broadcast liberally the seeds- nothing fussy - even 1” apart. Cover with soil so there is a low point. You get 3-4 times as many beans and they will support each other as they grow. Works like a charm . Keep up the great work - give Phoebe a treat. 👍
We love and grow BUSH BEAN EARLY CONTENDER and I found them to be stringless. They are also very prolific.
Thanks for another great video.
Scott I planted dragon tongue beans from Baker Creek their Bush beans I planted some green beans they bush beans also
I grew dragon tongue a few years ago, they were OK.
Although we are not close geographically so much of what you do can work anywhere in the country. I have learned so much from you! Thank you!
I agree, 2 feet apart is plenty of room.
Fresh green beans from the garden are the best! I agree on wanting a true stringless variety. I tried one a few years ago that was supposed to be stringless and still had an awful string. Trying a different one this year. I still have about 20 days before my green beans are producing. Was hoping to beat the heat, but not looking like it here in North Texas, zone 8a. Forecast is showing about 5 days coming up in the upper 80s and low 90s.
My dad always had a garden and I loved helping him in it. Guess that's where it started for me 😊 I'm 61 and haven't nor will quit
LOL you are harvesting green beans and my seeds wont be in the ground for another week Scott. Still nice to see growing plants.
I love your channel. I started watching shortly before I got my pupper dog a few years ago. She passed away last week unexpectedly. She was my garden guardian. I hate to post this depressing shit for the tenth time on another post but it's just connected to everything for me.
Who will protect my plants from squirrels now? Anyway I love your doggie Mr. Scott :)
Seychelles Johnny seeds are the ones he is using.
Here in zone 6a I planted my beans yesterday. Thanks for your update.
lol. I am zone 6b, and have not gotten that far yet. I do have loads of other things planted and going.
Thank you for your expert advice and video, God bless you and all your loved ones...God is good all the time!~
I'll be starting mine very soon in the UK.
You encouraged me. Been dealing with neck problems and haven’t planted my container garden yet. Thanks Scott y
Hey Scott. Thanks for sharing 🌱🌿🍀💚
I love some fresh beans. I usually plant Rattlesnake - easy to see. I also plant Cherokee Yellow Wax in my Greenstalk trellis with bamboo sticks.
Thanks Scott.
they did well for you good eating.
Odd weath3er this Spring... I am still harvesting peas!! I need to try those Seychelles. All my beans look great this year! My fave this year is a yellow pencil pod bean! So ecstatic about beans since parts of my garden are still overcoming the aminopyralid incident of 2020. Thanks for all you do!!
Nice beans harvest
I can't wait for your review after cooking them! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I have not tried Seychelles beans, but another vining "pole" green bean I would recommend you try is the "Blue Lake S7 Hybrid". They are also a stringless bean with excellent flavor and productivity.
I like the green beans young and tender too. This year I tried the "Strike" variety from Hoss tools. They are so tender and so good! My 18 month old eats them right off the plant! I am thinking about trying Sachelle next year too. Thanks for sharing.
Now I'm hungry. I sure would like to know how you cook them. 🍽
im doing a very simple trellis with twine inbetween 2 poles and for my back patch im using an unused clothes line post and twine
Ive only grown Dragon's Tongue and Rattlesnake beans..I have green bean seeds..but growing on a balcony-its difficult to grow them up here on the 3rd floor. Thank you for sharing.
I love watching these. It's like a preview for us northern folks. 🙂
I can't remember off hand, did you use one of those nets for tomatoes one year?
Not for tomatoes but for cukes.
@@ScottHead Do you think it'd do well with indeterminate tomatoes?
Great harvest! You know what's next, right? Do they suit? Are they what you were looking for? 🙃 Need an update sir!
Wow your amazing brother nice too mee you tom and angel ❤ 👍🤘
You said the variety, but I didn’t catch it. Please let me know. They look marvelous!
Seychelles Johnny seeds.
Thanks Ralph.
Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables to grow. They aren't sexy or unique, but man once they get going, they require little care and produce like crazy. Pole beans especially will go for me up north until they tend to get a bit of leaf disease, or maybe they are just at the end of their life cycle. I find if you plant a second wave they will produce into the fall. The Seychelles variety is supposed to be very good. I have not tried it. One company that has really cool bean varieties is Seeds From Italy.
Hello Scott! Have you considered growing the Asian winged beans?
It's getting to be Summer time. It grew through the summer, but produced through the fall. I am in Florida zone 10, full of heat and humidity.
PS... I am trying those Christmas Lima Beans!
Never grown those, might have to think about them.
When you told the story of your neighbors, and the smell of green beans, and how that might be what piqued your interest in gardening - you sounded a lot like Mr. Rogers!
Have you tried using an innoculent with planting beans ?
Rarely, I never have any trouble growing them the basic way.
At what stage of growth will they be able to tolerate heat? I'm wanting to grow these for fall/winter but it's still in the 100's!? I'm in DFW. Zone whatever. 8b?
Can I ask which variety you are growing this year? Oops. I should have waited a couple of more minutes.
Seychelles from Johnny's Select Seeds.
@@ScottHead thank you. I saw that later in the video. I should have waited to comment.
How do you prepare your beans? Plain, bacon, onion? Do you blanch and freeze any of them?
Usually southern style with bacon but sometimes Asian, sometimes French. I usually don't have enough to freeze since we like the beans so much.
😊
Thank you.
How are you cooking your beans. Any good recipes would be welcome
I'll have at least one recipe for the beans coming up but not sure which one yet.
@@ScottHead brilliant. I'll keep an eye out for it
I thought you were going to show us how you cooked them!
Another video for the cooking will come out.
Hey Scott! Any tips for bush beans in pots? silly clay here so can't grow in-ground.
Just good potting soil and full sun, they should be good growers.
@Scott Head Got a cloth pot with good soil... beans were planted about the same time as yours. Hitting them with Neptune's harvest once a week. Still not over a foot high. Pretty green though. Full sun. We have had some days with lows in the 40s though.
@@drago6576 hang in there... they will start producing when your evening Temps reach the 60s on a regular basis.
@@drago6576 P.S. typically beans do not need much fertilizer unless your soil test stated it was overall in a poor state. Perhaps save your ammendments for your toms and peppers!!
@@Katydidit I push fertilizer to all the things through my drip irrigation. I am lazy. Haha.
40s again this week. Insane weather in the low country. 40s at night...80s in days
SOS helllllpppp down here in NZ its mid autumn time and my climbing beans were really late this year the pods look nowhere near drying out ready for saving what can I do as we will have a frost any time soon anyone got any ideas????
Hmm, maybe harvest the pods and dry them artificially indoors - low oven, dehydrator, etc.
I'm still on the hunt for "true" stringless green beans. So far, no luck. Let me know if you find one.
True. A number of the varieties that say "stringless" are really not.
What fertilizer do you use?
Nothing on the beans. Usually I use a slow release organic dry fertilizer like IV Organic's all purpose 3-3-3. Sometimes I use Neptune's Harvest liquid tomato and veg mix, sometimes Alaska brand fish emulsion.
In zone 6 should I start thee green beans indoors??
Beans don't transplant well, I'd only direct sow. That being said, you should be able to direct sow outside soon. I'm in 6b, and it's a little chili and rainy this week, but as soon as we get a few days of nice temperatures I will be planting them.
@@dirtydan2007 thanks. That’s what I thought. It would be June before zone 6 soil is that warm soil temperatures are 49/50 right now. 😩😩😩
I border zone 6a/b in SE Michigan and beans do well for me planted directly in the garden, between mother's day and memorial day. I don't plant the beans that take a long time to harvest though. Blue Lake Bush and Red noodle beans are my go to varieties.
Can you top okra?
Yes, I've done it.
Thank you
You don't talk about the important issue soil requirement and fertiliEr
I didn't use any fertilizer after the first watering where I used fish emulsion. Just so you know though, the soil is well-amended with a sheet layer of compost between each growing season.
