I love this video for several reasons! So many times we see the planting and the growing of vegetables, but we never get to see the follow through. Showing how to pick them, and giving advice on how to sell them is unique and interesting. Thanks man, great job!
🤩 I moved from San Diego to South Dakota. I am struggling at the few farmers markets here…HOWEVER, you are ABSOLUTELY correct about sticking with it. I’m preparing for the next season for all the things I was asked for at all 3 I attend-I have been asked for green beans, tomatoes and a few different kinds of squash. I sold more butternut squash than eggs, but that’s fine. I weighed them by pound and likewise, in front of them. I’m loving your explanation and setup-no trellises!!! I’ve got the profitable time😉. I learned the pull-up technique through a lot of picking wrong🤪 I grabbed some low ones and found out. Yeah-pick in the morning, it’s a draining and grueling chore to chose the heat of the day🥵😒. Thanks for the tips and confidence booster!
I've watched so many bush bean videos an this was the first one that answered all my questions an i was able to learn alot! For a first time gardener i was anxious to see how they look when they start producing! Thank you so much for this detailed video 😁
I just planted mine yesterday, I plant Jade Bush Beans and they do well in my garden, three rows in two beds. My old 60 year old back is killing me but it’s worth the bounty. Mine will be canned again this year. I’m planting early, wish me luck.
Thanks for the heads up, this is their new link amzn.to/2uvL9Uj I wash certain veggies, summer fruiting crops like beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, squash don't need to be pre-washed. Root crops and greens are really the only crops I wash.
Hi, I usually foliar feed once a week with fish Hydroslate fertilizer (2-3-1) after the flowers first appear to boost the yield and give the plants energy to produce great beans. A blended formula with north Atlantic kelp also has benefits.
GM I'm Ms. Brenda, I Love your channel. I've taken a lot of your advice as far as trellising vegetables. My vegetables are doing great but I noticed something eating at my beans and peas. I'm wondering what to do for you're insect control. Ty hagd. 😁😁😁
Love the video and keep up the good work. I've been following you since you started this Channel and it seems Curtis Stone has taught you well, sir. ;) Excellent tip on your strategy for picking beans, pulling up words definitely applies to most vegetables especially beans and jalapenos Imo. Looking forward to seeing you succeed so keep up the good work and content, my son is going to appreciate it soon when he starts his own urban farm in my backyard. At 7 years old, he's looking forward to selling some of Daddy's produce and hard work.. hahaha! :)
Thanks for great tips! I will definitively be growing these next season. You should look into using biodegradable bags. They cost a bit more but for the environmentally conscious customer, it's a big plus!
You're welcome! Nice I hope they grow well for you! Thanks for the suggestion I have been considering that more lately. I just looked it up and found this amzn.to/2NlYx4g. I can't find the smaller type bags I use in biodegradable though. It's 7.5 cent per bag for bio-D about 3x the cost of the plastic ones I use. But it's not that much more in the big scheme of things. So I may switch someday soon. I also want customers to become more responsible and bring their own bags, that's part of the problem in my opinion too. All responsibility and is put on the farmer but why can't the customer be part of the solution too. The farmer's margins are already small enough as it is. But we must ultimately cater to our customer and they demand convenience and therefore bags lol. The cost of the biodegradable bags will go down overtime as well.
Nice Joseph! Ya if I wasn't in a wealthy big city I probably couldn't get such high prices. Even though beyond organic green beans are worth $5/lb in my opinion. Conventional green beans taste disgusting and are sprayed relentlessly.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight I grow all natural the only medicine I use is garlic spray from the garlic I grow. The beans are very nice and yes lots of work but so worth it. I was so glad for the video on cucs. I did'nt know all about that. A great help indeed. Thanks.
Thanks, Man - great video! Don't know why I didn't even think about using a stool. Just get into go mode I guess. Going to try that as I've been killing my back!
I've been growing green beans for just two years. I rotate my crops to try to avoid pests and diseases. But my beans are constantly attacked by something that eats holes in the leaves and sometimes in the beans themselves. I do not want to use chemicals but neem oil and Safer soap isn't doing the job. Any advice? Thanks for this awesome video! Subscribed.
Thanks. I don't think I have any footage about it and I'm not planning on collecting the seed this year. Maybe I can find something to do show seed saving on. But basically you just grow the plants for an extra month. Let the bean pods get plump then they dry out to a light brown color. They crack open easily and the purple developed seeds pop out. Then you just plant them as you would any other bean.
Mine started flowering about a week and a half ago. About how long after they start flowering do they start producing beans? Also, this week my pole beans started flowering, I'm assuming that the same rules of time after flowering would apply?
Nice I think you will like them a lot. There's a nice planting window for beans in the fall once we get through our hottest days in September (San Diego).
I think it gets even hotter where you are. If it gets near 100 the leaves will burn and the plants production will plummet. In that recent 100 degree heat it smoked my beans and I got half the harvest of a normal bed. My other friend who has farmed in Lakeside for 7 years stops planting beans at this time. June is the last month for harvesting them, then wait until October I'd say to be a lot safer. Having said that I have some beans going right now and they are doing great. It's just a gamble if the heat comes. But if you want to experiment it wouldn't hurt, but that's my warning trying to plant them now. Maybe there are some varieties that could take the heat, but provider can't.
Steven, As always you give great advice and the reasons behind it. My Farmette is 2.5 miles from the beach and does not get as hot as it does in Lemon Grove where you are located. I am going to try a row of beans and see how they do. I am very close to Wild Willows farm and they have started their Broccoli already. I will let you know how the beans grow in my micro-climate.
Oh wow I had no idea it was that close to the beach I was picturing a completely different climate. Ya I think that's a great idea to try sowing them. I did lots of experiments this first year pushing the limits of the seasons to see what I could get away with, so that in my second season I know my major cut off points for crops. Sounds good please let me know, I hope they will do great.
You're welcome :) Ya absolutely. I plan to do eventually a harvest video for each of the veggies I grow for market. Will talk washing and prep and farmer's market too. Just takes a while to make these videos hehe! Still need to edit like 40 I've already shot lol. Getting faster though trying to upload 3 a week.
This is my first year growing a garden. Of course i was plagued with every insect, powdery mildew and some identifiable grasshopper. i was ready to give up until i saw some one use Hydrogen peroxide. wow it made my leaves so strong that the bugs all left. I know it sounds crazy but it works. Have you tried it?
If you plant enough beans, you will have enough to harvest every day. But you have to plant a lot! Also, dont pick every single ripe one. Leave some for the next day. That's how they do it
I'd like to see the price list for other organic vegetables at your famer's market. Perhaps the next time you show us your tomatoes you could mention a price in passing. My local farmers market is not open for as many months as yours. And the prices are lower.
I will be making videos about farmer's markets, sales, pricing etc in the future. Sure I'll try to start mentioning prices in passing in videos. Tomatoes I'm selling for basically $4/lb.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight Thank you! My dad just discovered that he likes green beans after he tried them for the first time "the Americen Way". He's thinking about planting his own in Dominican Republic.
Hiya. I missed what density you plant them at. Do you do two or three rows? Also, I remember a video of Curtis when he visited someone that harvested the whole bush bean plant in one go to save on labor. Can anyone point me in the right direction on that one?
Hey Michel, I do 2 rows in a 30" bed. In the summer they will pump beans hard for 2 weeks. I'd feel like I was wasting yield if I just pulled the whole plant. But maybe the variety they grow makes more sense for that. The providers I grow pump for 2-3 weeks straight.
What would cause bush beans to fruit too early? I have plants with less than 5 leaves and under 7 inches tall that are growing a few beans and they're just falling over from the weight of the beans.... :(

Nice just in time!
Where do you get your bags?
The bags I put the beans in are these: amzn.to/2uvL9Uj I also use them for lettuce, small salad mixes, basil, and 2 or more baskets of tomatoes etc..
Nature's Always Right, thank you! Looks like it is currently unavailable. Also, do you wash all your veggies before you bag them?
Thanks for the heads up, this is their new link amzn.to/2uvL9Uj I wash certain veggies, summer fruiting crops like beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, squash don't need to be pre-washed. Root crops and greens are really the only crops I wash.
Diggin' your videos Steven. Thanks for your enthusiasm and expertise!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! I also have been using this kool little foldable stool for a long time.
I would have thought pulling down would be better at harvesting thanks for setting me straight brother
Awesome video
Thanks for all the info

Great information on the green beans and about doing the farmers market 😊
Thanks glad it was helpful!
Toon and Leigh mentioned you site is worth a view AND WOW its awesome Brill info SMILES
Sweet thanks for checking me out, glad you like. They are awesome!
The taste and quality is so much better than the canned or frozen store bought.
Thank you I didn't know to pull up
It's the key to never snapping the bean or the plant :)

Excellent video man. thx
This was great. I'll sow more.
Thanks :) Nice hope it's a good harvest!
Great video!

Were all those beans the same variety? If so I'm sold on the provider. Great video
Beginning gardener here. Pulling up. Great tip! What’s the name of the shade cover you use? What percentage of sun does it block?
Great info. Thanks.
Cool shirt. You mentioned going to seed. Can you go over gathering seed for next planting; how to replant from a previous crop?
Thanks. I don't think I have any footage about it and I'm not planning on collecting the seed this year. Maybe I can find something to do show seed saving on. But basically you just grow the plants for an extra month. Let the bean pods get plump then they dry out to a light brown color. They crack open easily and the purple developed seeds pop out.

I just ordered some of the beans to try out.
Nice I think you will like them a lot. There's a nice planting window for beans in the fall once we get through our hottest days in September (San Diego).
Should I wait until fall to plant them? My local growing guide says I can plant them through August. What do you think?

I like beans. They fertilize themselves.
Thank you.
Eaat yo bbeans! Thanks for the video, could you make one on harvesting lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers?
You're welcome :) Ya absolutely. I plan to do eventually a harvest video for each of the veggies I grow for market. Will talk washing and prep and farmer's market too.

Welcome David. Great to have you here. Thanks Leigh and Toon!
What is the spacing on those plants? I think I'm sowing my beans too far apart. Cheers from San Diego!
Starting my morning right
Haha love it!
Can you eat the leaves from the bean plants? They would be beautiful in a salad mix.
This is my first year growing a garden. Of course i was plagued with every insect, powdery mildew and some identifiable grasshopper. i was ready to give up until i saw some one use Hydrogen peroxide. wow it made my leaves so strong that the bugs all left. I know it sounds crazy but it works. Have you tried it?
I've heard of it for powdery mildew but I've never tried it. Thanks for the suggestion, I'd love to do some experiments on powdery mildew next season.
Thank you Sir!
Wait did he say every day?! They put out beans everyday?! Are you serious?! I really need to learn more about gardens and plants.
If you plant enough beans, you will have enough to harvest every day. But you have to plant a lot! Also, dont pick every single ripe one. Leave some for the next day. That's how they do it

14:27 - Dude, my farmers market days are 7 hours. Couldn't imagine a 13-14 hour day.
Excellent vid!! I’m is San Diego too - what Farmers Market do you sell at? Would love to support you!
Thankssss
Excellent video!
How long are your rows?
Thanks they are all about 38ft. I'm in a backyard/front yards so I max them as far as they can go versus the standard 25/50/100ft.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight Thank you! My dad just discovered that he likes green beans after he tried them for the first time "the Americen Way". He's thinking about planting his own in Dominican Republic.
hi how many plants were in each bed?
How many pounds you get from one tree with two pickings and how long it takes before you start to pick after you plant
What variety of bush beans do you use?
Hiya. I missed what density you plant them at. Do you do two or three rows?
Also, I remember a video of Curtis when he visited someone that harvested the whole bush bean plant in one go to save on labor. Can anyone point me in the right direction on that one?
Hey Michel, I do 2 rows in a 30" bed. In the summer they will pump beans hard for 2 weeks. I'd feel like I was wasting yield if I just pulled the whole plant. But maybe the variety they grow makes more sense for that. The providers I grow pump for 2-3 weeks straight.
@@NaturesAlwaysRight nice thanks. Whats the row distance?
I think they did a lot denser plantings than is normal.
What do i need to sell at the farmers market
What would cause bush beans to fruit too early? I have plants with less than 5 leaves and under 7 inches tall that are growing a few beans and they're just falling over from the weight of the beans.... :(
What's your spacing? Thanks!
I use the bean plate on the earthway seeder. I think it is 2 or 3" spacing. They grow well thick.
So do I have this right.
2 row in a 30 inch wide bed spaced at about 3 inches between plants? How long are your beds?
What are the dimensions of your garden bed
Lol I thought these were pinto beans I just put a bunch in the dirt and they’re growing like weeds!!
What do u do if aphids attack them?
A little dish soap in water sprayed on the leaves gets rid of aphids
What is the insect netting that you use?
It's actually 50% shade cloth, which can also double as insect netting :)
ahh thanks
Fyi the leaves are edible and very tasty if you satay them
My grandma picked beans in Mississippi... no stool.
Charles L 💩?
When I was 5 and 6, my dad would bring home a hugh burlap sack of beans that we would have to sit on the front porch and shell or snap them.
12:13 There's a bean on your shirt
How did you plan the peas. did you do small rows of it with seeds all in a line or one seed every couple inches?
Two rows about 18 inches apart. Seeded with an earthway seeder using the bean plate. The spacing of the bean plate is about 2-3" I think.
What’s the name of the beans ?
कुठली वहराटी सर मि लावनार आहे फेपुरवारीला
8 inches is max for pathways
Ya and over time mine have gotten skinnier! They are like 6" now haha it's like walking a tight rope.. almost ;)
What If it’s been over 60 not one flower or bean
Kindly give transcripts.
Hello my name is dunja
Why not on a trellis?
Because they are bush beans and don't require one. If you do 2 rows 18" apart they will rest on each other and don't require a trellis.
