    I live in Florida and we have like 4 different types of fire ants on our property. I have a fire ant guy that comes and treats my property every 4 months but not around my garden. I use containers to garden as I am older and have arthritis and some mobility issues with my ankles and knees anymore. But I find those ants hate the smell of cinnamon. So I buy large containers of cinnamon and sprinkle on top of my containers and the ants stay out of them.

      To work with the hot winds, and sun scald you can buy a sheer woven sun cloth that you drape and secure to posts with clamps over your rows or patch. This lets in rain and plenty of sun, but minimizes any damage. There is a darker version if you want to maintain the HEAT in your rows to extend the growing season, of lettuces or second broccoli growth, or even tomatoes.
      Beans will continue to flower if adequate light and warmth is provided, so more beans to eat!
      Keep watered and work in a small handful of fertilizer (for flowers n vegetables) around each.

My hubby wanted to buy chemicals to get rid of them, I'm not into that stuff. I also didn't realize you could grow so many bean plants together in such small a area. I can't wait to get started. Wish I was in your location, I'm in Kansas and it's late February, I'm so ready to get my garden going, my little green house is over flowing. Until next time, happy growing.

    • @macylouwho1187

      You can use a food container with small holes poked all over the top to get rid of fungus gnats. I use half warm water/half apple cider vinegar with a drop of dawn dish soap to break surface tension so they fall in and drown in the water/vinegar combo. They are super attracted to apple cider vinegar. I put a pinch of sugar or honey in if I really want to get them coming in quick to the trap. After they thin out, I dump it and rinse it for the inevitable surge of the next round of hatched gnats coming out of the soil. When that happens, I repeat the process. That usually gets rid of the whole batch of them and the problem is over. Cinnamon never worked for me in the house, apple cider vinegar worked far better and faster.

    Beans are self-pollinating and pollination usually happens even before the blossom opens. So they are less likely to cross-pollinate even when growing close to each other. However, to be on the safe side, try to plant different varieties of beans at least 10 feet from one another if you are saving bean seeds. This is straight from Google. I believe we should be safe to save seeds from plants planted near each other. Because there is no way I could put 10ft between each variety lol. Hope that helps plus I needed to know for myself.

    It was 89° here today and it’s still officially winter. Spring is official in 2 days though. 😜
    I hate trying to grow anything that trails in containers. So this is great to know about the beans. I missed out on the stackable pots. They never keep enough stock in of what everyone wants. I see some halfway decent priced ones on Amazon, so I may order those.
    I hate those fungus gnats. Last year I got a lot of them. This year I did a ton of research to try and keep from getting them. I switched to Happy Frog potting soil and switched to coco coir to grow my seedlings in. So far, so good.

    If you haven't tried them before, I think you may well like Red Swan beans too. They are prolific, pretty, and very tasty. They'll keep producing for ages. I usually grow Blue Lake as my climbing bean, and I've tried many others as bush beans, but that Red Swan beat them all last year. They also froze very well too.

    Last year I got tired of the rabbits chomping my green beans down to the ground when I tried growing them on the side of the house. So, since I had the same type of stackable, I grew the green beans in them on our front porch. Got a good crop, too. Try mixing leftover cooked green beans with scrambled eggs. You can add some Velveeta for cheesy eggs, too.

    I’m so glad you made this video because I was able to get 30 plants in 5 stackables and then 6 more in 2 other planters (I did that before realizing I can plant 2 seeds per side of the pot). Also I planted 10 strawberry plants/crowns in 3 stackables and they’re doing great! I drilled a hole in the center of 6 stackables and drove a 3’ rebar into the ground, placed a concrete block over it and slowly stacked the planters on top of the rebar and concrete block. This way they shouldn’t tip over in the wind (hopefully). I’ve heard you could also use a 2” x 12-18” length PVC pipe instead of the concrete block but I just had the block available. I can also rotate the planters fairly easily for the best sun exposure as needed. Still, it looks beautiful and I’m so happy with my beans growing out of these planters! I also planted my blackberry and elderberry crowns in my stackable planters for now until they get bigger and I can prepare their permanent spot on our property. Thank you again for making these videos because it has truly saved me so much money and trouble and gave me ideas to plant in a way of which I hadn’t thought. Watering goes very quickly as well and my plants are so easy to maintain. I have two GreenStalks as well and honestly these stackables are so great to work with and makes vertical growing so approachable on a strict budget. I don’t need to buy the Greenstalks anymore. Growing is so satisfying this way! Visually it’s also stunning to look out my window and see them. They’re just so aesthetically pleasing to look at!
