25 Responses to Planting Staggered Bush Beans In Raised Beds : Gardening Michigan
Beans grow pretty well here in CO. I have grown the bush variety. This vid
makes me want to plant them again. I’m going to need more garden beds! :)
Rendering your effort just to make us learn are very heartbreaking and
satisfying. I appreciate the overview of this video and I must be thankful
for your elegant ideas indeed. Good job!

Nice job buddy. Next year I’m doing some square foot gardening raised beds
and I’ll be refering back to your vids for sure. No rain on my side of the
state, it’s bad over here, rivers and lakes are LOW.
Its a bush bean (stringless) called “Royal Burgundy” Never grown them
before but the photo on the front suggests a purple skinned bean with a
green inside. The skin is supposed to green when lightly cooked.
Thanks, the video is a bit deceptive, we’re in desperate need of rain right
now too. I wouldn’t say it’s a drought situation here, but the plants are
shriveling up and the only people with grass are the ones watering.
Thanks Allen, That was about it for the rain here as well. I’ll be looking
forward to your gardening videos if you make any. I find growing veggies
quite fun, and am getting into canning and such too. Lots to learn!
somehting I hav done in the past to get things growing faster is soak the
seed overnight in a glass of water. It plumps them up so that when you
plant they are already about to split and start growing. bad side is if you
delay the seeds can get too wet. 🙂 heavy rain this year is anything more
than 3/4 inch 🙂
Thanks Randy, That’s about spot on with the rain. LOL! The seed packet
recommended soaking overnight for faster germination as well. I’ve yet to
try soaking seeds though, just go out daily and give em a bit of the good
stuff with a watering can until they are up for a couple days.
Good Vid. Anyone can just put beans into the ground and wait for them to
grow, but you sir, help to make gardening look fun. I have beans that are
purple when harvested and turn green when cooked. Can’t wait to get em
planted. I just may use this method. Thanks for posting
I live in MI as well. St clair shores. what part of the state do you live
in? It is handy to see someone with the same climate that I have, so I can
expect to see the pests and such that you get. Thanks!
MY beans got attacked by Mexican bean beetles, but we still ended up with
quite a bit, dried most of the beans. I think if the beans were spaced a
bit further apart the bean beetles wouldn’t have been as bad.
It has been a dry summer. I haven’t even bothered to hit the woods in
search of mushrooms because there is likely very little to be found. I’ve
noticed lots of grasshoppers lately, don’t know if that’s due to lack of
rain or what.

You’re welcome. It’s a nice way to get em in tight and still make for easy
harvest.

So how did that small area produce for you. Im going to be doing some small
areas and was thinking about pole beans but this may be better.

What kind of beans are those? I’m growing lab lab beans and think they may
be purple pods as well.

You do nice work! I like your raised beds. Your lucky to get that rain. Got
a drought where I am. Hot and dry. My animals and plants are suffering.

Thanks, the soil at that end of the garden seems to be much looser than the
stuff up top, less clay and gravel too.

Cool video, Roosevelt. Love your garden, great job done using Mother Nature
herself to water the seeds! Greetings from Spain!
