Well done Charles. Love the saying. One for the squirrel, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow. First time I've heard it. Thanks. Best wishes Bob.
"One for the squirrel, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow." You should have heard me singing that song when I was planting my beans. I even got my 5-year old son to singing it. We had so much fun. Thank you so much.

Mr. Charles those are soooo pretty! GOOD JOB! So glad you're still being able to get on that tractor and I KNOW you are! You're just a few years older than I am and I sure hope I can get around as well as you do when I am your age! Go get em Mr. Charles!!!
I want to thank you from the bottom of my ❤️ heart for showing the entire process. I have no more parents or grandparents alive to show and teach me these skills. So... unknown to you, I've adopted you, to learn from. Because of you, I've grown black beans, and kidney beans in my garden this year. "First time"!!

Hey daddy, go to the hardware store and pickup a 1 inch or so pvc pipe cut to your waist size then when you plant beans no more bending over just sit pipe where you want it and drop beans in pipe and they will slide down the pipe where you want them and woop tee do there you go, no more back ache. Love your video’s.
This reminds me of my grandparents planting and canning every vegetable they could and it was so good.

Get you a nail apron to tote your beans in and use a length of PVC pipe that is comfortable for you to hold for your height, drop your beans down the pipe and move on down. I've had back surgery and saw someone use this method so I gave it a try. Sure does save the back.

Last time I bought 13 13 13 , maybe 5 years ago, I stocked up and bought 3 bags at about 10 bucks each. I still have a little but looked the other day knowing I would need more for a fall garden. 35 dollars a bag was a shock!

Great "how-to" video from start to finish. I have been canning for 30+ years and never knew ten jars would fit in the bottom of the canner. Two extra jars per batch cuts down on the number of batches over time. One interesting note about kidney beans is that they are toxic if eaten before cooked, so don't ever think of grinding them into flour and tasting the dough before the item is cooked.
Thanks Linda for the tip about toxic kidney beans. And yes, two extra jars in the canner adds up when I am canning over 100 pints of some vegetables. Thanks for watching. I will be uploading more videos as the summer goes on. Be sure to subscribe. OAG
Are the kidney beans dry when you pick them or do they need to dry more? Very informative step by step. You ask if you seem 80 in the video. I say you’re doing great. Must be all the gardening and healthy eating. 😊💚😊
No, they are at the "Shell out" stage. And no, they don't dry more because I canned them. To have dry beans I would leave them on the plant longer, until the outer hull begins to get brown and dry. Then harvest them and bring them in the house to finish drying. I am doing that now and will make a video on it later. Thanks for watching. OAG
The idea is that not all the seeds planted will sprout and those that do sprout not all will survive to grow to maturity. Thanks for watching. Be sure to subscribe. OAG

Hello Denise, sorry your gardening isn't doing so well. Watch my videos and next spring I am sure you will have much more success. Thanks for watching. OAG

Your rhyme hit home with me ! I believe I heard my great grandmother using that rhyme ! How many of your plants do you save for seed? Do you do one row ? I plan on growing these and black beans next year! Thank you mr. Charles !
Hi Amanda, yes, it is an old time thing. Mostly only us old folks know of it. After I get all I want canned, then I let the rest of the patch get to the dry stage. I then harvest the dry beans and store them, some for eating and some for next year seeds. Didn't I send you some plants? How are they doing, still alive? Thanks for watching. OAG
OldAlabamaGardener ya you sent me comfrey! They died :( then I moved ! Working on getting everything dealt with here ! I’m on 1/3 of a acre now !!! I’ve got land ! I got 7 chickens now ! Hugs and love my dear friend !

Use a 5 foot 2 inch PVC pipe. Put the end on the dirt where you want the seeds. Drop the seeds through the top end. No bending over and easy on the back!!!!
I love your videos thankyou. Quick question... do kidney beans need a trellis or support to grow.? I don’t think you did but some videos suggest support.
Thank you for watching my videos. No, kidney beans, at least the one I grow, do not need a trellis. They will get a little bushy but not climb. If you haven't yet, please subscribe. OAG
OAG - I like your song while sowing the seeds :). I have had challenges with spider mites sucking the life out of bean plants. Do you have a natural remedy for this problem?
I do not have personal experience with them, but I have read that mixing a strong dish washing soap and water, then spray the plants will at least reduce the insects. If you want to use something stronger I suggest a product called: Pyola. Buy it at gardens alive.com OAG
Marie, I don't know about the kidney beans. But, I would try it. I did this with blackeyed peas out of a 1lb bag from the store and BOY DID THEY GROW!! You have to have some room to grow them. LOL I found out the hard way that I didn't have enough room. If it worked for peas...maybe it will work for beans, too.
Marie: Yes, most of the beans from the store will grow. However, most of the beans from the store have been sprayed with Round-Up and I don't want to be eating anything with Round-Up on it, so, no, I don't use beans from that source. Thanks for watching. OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener I just looked this up and you are correct. They do it for a uniform harvest. I feel like an idiot for not knowing this. naturalsociety.com/which-of-your-foods-are-sprayed-with-round-up-just-3-days-before-harvest/
Hello and welcome to my videos. No, I don't make jams or jellies because sugar, and that is mostly what jams and jellies are, is like putting poison in your body. Sugar (sweet foods) have been the down fall of American's health. Thanks for watching. OAG
If you are still bending over when you plant seed, instead, try using a 1" piece ofconduit. Cut it as long as you need (just below waist height) so you can just place it over the desired planting spot and drop the seeds down the pipe. No bending over! I just saw some guy on TH-cam doing that!
Oh I love that popping sound. I'd like to ask you for a favor, could I email you again? your videos are such help and remind me of al the years canning with Grandma and my Mom. Thanks and blessings...Kellie
Hello Jan, the rows are 60 feet long and I planted 4 rows. I just finished picking them again and expect to can another 20 pints tomorrow morning. Love to you and hope you are doing well! C.
I'm new to you channel! I'm in Marshall county! So I'm getting ready to get Rose's and Roots for next year. I bought 1tomato plant and so far 4 tomatoes! will it produce any more? Thanks for you channel!!
Hello and welcome to my videos. Your question: Will your one tomato plant produce more tomatoes? My answer: It depends on which kind of tomato plant you have. If it is a determinate type, then it may not produce any more tomatoes. If it is an Indeterminate type, then it could produce more tomatoes if it is properly taken care of. You still have about 90 days before a possible frost, so you have time to grow more things. It won't be long before you and I can plant fall crops. I will be making more videos on fall crops as I plant them, so be sure to subscribe and click on the bell icon so you will get notifications when I upload more videos. Thanks for watching. OAG
Curious why you don’t use more water in canner. What happens if too much water. Also; even though I don’t have room to grow plants I may buy bulk organic kidney beans and can my own Thanks so much
A pressure canner does its work by using steam. The water in the canner is only for producing steam. You can actually have too much water in the canner. And last, the approved method of canning calls for this amount of water. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe. OAG
I like to leave them on the vine until the outer hull gets a little dry. Then I bring them inside the house to fully dry. Then shell them out and let the beans continue drying for another couple weeks. Then into the freezer for one month (this will kill any weevil eggs),. The seeds will keep viable longer in the freezer or refrigerator, than if stored on a shelf. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe. OAG

@@easttexassuburbanhomestead9172 Where did you buy your store beans from? And if they have been sprayed with Round-Up, no, there is no way to soak them and remove it. That is why I grow my own beans, as well as other vegetables, with seed I saved from year to year. OAG

Thanks! Going to try this with dried store bought kidney beans. I store my rings on a wire coat hanger that I untwisted.
You are a true gem Charles.

Great "how-to" video from start to finish. I have been canning for 30+ years and never knew ten jars would fit in the bottom of the canner. Two extra jars per batch cuts down on the number of batches over time. One interesting note about kidney beans is that they are toxic if eaten before cooked, so don't ever think of grinding them into flour and tasting the dough before the item is cooked.
Thanks Linda for the tip about toxic kidney beans. And yes, two extra jars in the canner adds up when I am canning over 100 pints of some vegetables. Thanks for watching. I will be uploading more videos as the summer goes on. Be sure to subscribe.
OAG
Beautiful job. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching my videos.
Are the kidney beans dry when you pick them or do they need to dry more? Very informative step by step. You ask if you seem 80 in the video. I say you’re doing great. Must be all the gardening and healthy eating. 😊💚😊
No, they are at the "Shell out" stage. And no, they don't dry more because I canned them. To have dry beans I would leave them on the plant longer, until the outer hull begins to get brown and dry. Then harvest them and bring them in the house to finish drying. I am doing that now and will make a video on it later. Thanks for watching.

@@OldAlabamaGardener I'm subscribed and bell turned on! I was just admiring the hard work. I hate shelling beans its hard work. I agree on the sprays. My garden is 100% organic. I'm over here in MS so not far from you. Still no frost yet here. I still have a few tomatoes and lots of peppers going off.

Really enjoying your videos. Hope to be able to use them this fall as I don't think my summer garden is going to produce anything. Got a late start with seedlings in mid-May and too hot and not enough rain and I have a green garden but no veggies. Thanks for sharing your wealth of info.

Do you know if you can use dry beans from the grocery store to plant? Never mind, just saw a previous post on this. Thank you for this awesome video!
Hi Nancy. Yes, you can use mist store beans to plant and grow. I prefer to buy organic Non-GMO beans because I think it is more healthy for us. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.

Your rhyme hit home with me ! I believe I heard my great grandmother using that rhyme ! How many of your plants do you save for seed? Do you do one row ? I plan on growing these and black beans next year! Thank you mr. Charles !
Hi Amanda, yes, it is an old time thing. Mostly only us old folks know of it. After I get all I want canned, then I let the rest of the patch get to the dry stage. I then harvest the dry beans and store them, some for eating and some for next year seeds. Didn't I send you some plants? How are they doing, still alive? Thanks for watching.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener ya you sent me comfrey! They died :( then I moved ! Working on getting everything dealt with here ! I’m on 1/3 of a acre now !!! I’ve got land ! I got 7 chickens now ! Hugs and love my dear friend !
Lord bless you man.
Yes, I am blessed. Thank you.
OAG
So about how many plants gave you this amount of beans? Love the rhyme, I will tell my grandbabies. Thanks 😊. I really appreciate your channel. I appreciate and value the effort you make to educate. Thank you so much.
This was a 70 foot row of plants. I usually space plants about 8 inches apart. So, there was about 100 plants in this row.

Use a 5 foot 2 inch PVC pipe. Put the end on the dirt where you want the seeds. Drop the seeds through the top end. No bending over and easy on the back!!!!
Thank you. Perhaps I will try that.

I love your videos thankyou. Quick question... do kidney beans need a trellis or support to grow.? I don’t think you did but some videos suggest support.
Thank you for watching my videos. No, kidney beans, at least the one I grow, do not need a trellis. They will get a little bushy but not climb. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.
OAG
Thankyou for your reply, I love your videos and have definitely subscribed.
OAG - I like your song while sowing the seeds :). I have had challenges with spider mites sucking the life out of bean plants. Do you have a natural remedy for this problem?
I do not have personal experience with them, but I have read that mixing a strong dish washing soap and water, then spray the plants will at least reduce the insects. If you want to use something stronger I suggest a product called: Pyola. Buy it at gardens alive.com
OAG
Wow.....beautiful
Can I grow from store bought?
Marie, I don't know about the kidney beans. But, I would try it. I did this with blackeyed peas out of a 1lb bag from the store and BOY DID THEY GROW!! You have to have some room to grow them. LOL I found out the hard way that I didn't have enough room. If it worked for peas...maybe it will work for beans, too.
Marie: Yes, most of the beans from the store will grow. However, most of the beans from the store have been sprayed with Round-Up and I don't want to be eating anything with Round-Up on it, so, no, I don't use beans from that source. Thanks for watching.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener I just looked this up and you are correct. They do it for a uniform harvest. I feel like an idiot for not knowing this. naturalsociety.com/which-of-your-foods-are-sprayed-with-round-up-just-3-days-before-harvest/
Great video Sir. Do you make jams or jelly.
Hello and welcome to my videos. No, I don't make jams or jellies because sugar, and that is mostly what jams and jellies are, is like putting poison in your body. Sugar (sweet foods) have been the down fall of American's health. Thanks for watching.
OAG
If you are still bending over when you plant seed, instead, try using a 1" piece ofconduit. Cut it as long as you need (just below waist height) so you can just place it over the desired planting spot and drop the seeds down the pipe. No bending over! I just saw some guy on TH-cam doing that!

Thanks Mr. Charles. How many rows did you plant and how long are the rows? Much Love
Hello Jan, the rows are 60 feet long and I planted 4 rows. I just finished picking them again and expect to can another 20 pints tomorrow morning.

I'm new to you channel! I'm in Marshall county! So I'm getting ready to get Rose's and Roots for next year.
I bought 1tomato plant and so far 4 tomatoes!
will it produce any more? Thanks for you channel!!
Hello and welcome to my videos. Your question: Will your one tomato plant produce more tomatoes? My answer: It depends on which kind of tomato plant you have. If it is a determinate type, then it may not produce any more tomatoes. If it is an Indeterminate type, then it could produce more tomatoes if it is properly taken care of. You still have about 90 days before a possible frost, so you have time to grow more things. It won't be long before you and I can plant fall crops. I will be making more videos on fall crops as I plant them, so be sure to subscribe and click on the bell icon so you will get notifications when I upload more videos. Thanks for watching.

I use a length of PVC pipe and drop the beans in the row. Might help your back.

Curious why you don’t use more water in canner. What happens if too much water. Also; even though I don’t have room to grow plants I may buy bulk organic kidney beans and can my own Thanks so much
A pressure canner does its work by using steam. The water in the canner is only for producing steam. You can actually have too much water in the canner. And last, the approved method of canning calls for this amount of water. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.
OAG
With beans and peas you want to save for seed, do you recommend letting them dry completely on the plant or do you dry them after shelling them?
I like to leave them on the vine until the outer hull gets a little dry. Then I bring them inside the house to fully dry. Then shell them out and let the beans continue drying for another couple weeks. Then into the freezer for one month (this will kill any weevil eggs),. The seeds will keep viable longer in the freezer or refrigerator, than if stored on a shelf. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe.

Hi OAG! Hope y'all are doing good! Have you ever tried planting the store dry kidney beans?
Hello and welcome to my videos. The store beans are sprayed with Round-Up to defoliate them. I don't eat anything, if I can help it, that has Round-Up on it. Thanks for watching.

@@OldAlabamaGardener oh my gosh. I did not know that. I store a lot of dry beans up in my end time preps. Is there any way to soak them an remove it. That is sad news 4 sure. God bless. Have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for sharing them!
@@easttexassuburbanhomestead9172 Where did you buy your store beans from? And if they have been sprayed with Round-Up, no, there is no way to soak them and remove it. That is why I grow my own beans, as well as other vegetables, with seed I saved from year to year.

@@OldAlabamaGardener we have bought them from Wal-Mart an the dollar stores mostly. I will be checking into buying organic non gmo and were starting our garden this fall and hoping to grow much of our own food Lord willing.thank you for the information. A lot I don't know.God bless.
