@foodprepguide You're Welcome
Those look like some mighty big holes for beans, I'm afraid your gonna have weeds come up through them. The one disadvantage of weed fabric is that once you burn those holes, your committed to that, lol. I wouldn't recommend the burner your using for beans, it would be best to use a smaller lighter torch, in my opinion. The holes don't need to be very big for beans, just big enough for the plant to poke thru. I burn mine small for beans & corn. Great effort tho, at least your planting a garden.
That’s great advice! In hindsight, smaller holes for beans is definitely the way to go.
Hi! Haven't watched this all the way through yet but I do have something I want to share with you. Last year I planted 6 rows of red eye purple hull peas and I ended up planting everything late. We had just broken up a new garden spot and it had been so wet we had to wait to be able to get the tractor in to till it up. My rows were about 60 ft long. I actually didn't get them planted until July 18th and 20th! So I didn't get to start picking and canning till September. I canned till November 1st. Canned a total of 30 qts plus 60 pints of ph peas. I also only planted 1 row of blue lake bush green beans in July. If they had a longer growing season they would have done better. But the other thing I planted in my raised bed that we were very pleased with was yard long green beans. We love to eat them fresh and sautéed with butter and garlic. But you they can be canned! Each pod is 18 to 24 inches long! Chop them up and it does not take very many to make a meal. I started picking them 6 weeks to the day I planted them! They are very prolific! They slowed down for about a week to 10 days and bloomed out again and put on more beans! Did that twice! I ended up canning 64 pints and 11qts from that 8ft row plus my 1 row of blue lake in garden. November 1st was my last day to can what I picked from the gardens. So I highly recommend trying the yard long green beans! This year I'm planting navy beans instead of peas since we have plenty. I'll most likely plant some pintos too. Right now it's too wet to finish the last tilling and plant anything yet. Hope you try the green beans out tho. We grew them on an 8ft trellis as they are vining.
Thank you for sharing your experience & tips. I loved hearing about it! 🤗 We’ve grown the yard long beans … and didn’t like them. LOVED how prolific they were, but no one liked the taste. 😔
I’ve been wondering if I just didn’t pick them early enough? They were so stringy and the skin was tough. Did you pick them when they were still young and skinny? I think that was my problem. 🤔
I’m trying a Fortex Filet pole bean this year that I’m really excited about, but I have enough room to sprinkle in a few yard longs. I saved seed from the year we grew them. You may have convinced me to toss a few in the ground for funsies. 😂
@@foodprepguide Yes, kind of. You don't want them to fill out with big beans and look wrinkly. We liked the different taste of them when I sautéed them with garlic and butter and salt n pepper. But when I canned them, I did it just like regular green beans and they were good! I even experimented with a batch and used beef broth instead of water in some jars and chicken broth in a few jars. We liked that combo too. They are skinnier than regular gb but all in all, we were very pleased with how easy they are to grow, how prolific, and the ease in picking and cleaning them. I'm old and it kills my back to bend over picking peas and beans. These on the trellis was easy picking! There are different varieties of the yard long beans tho. Not sure which mine are but they are green pods and don't turn color except on the tip end, sometimes the tips will be a little purply looking. When I let the pods dry for seed the beans are black. We had a friend that went out of state for a week and they asked us to go pick their garden while they were gone and eat our harvest. Those were in their garden and I didn't know anything about how to harvest them. I thought you had to let them fill out. I was wrong! Lol! I looked on line and learned about them. After that, we fell in love with them!
@@foodprepguide Also, I saved seed from the ones that were too big and had enough saved that I gave half the seed beans to them for the next year. They were pleased. And so were we!
Thank you, Sweet Pea.
