I’m with you! Green beans are a staple in my garden! Always have been, always will be! I just finished snapping a load this morning. If Mama Hoss came off of a hog farm, picking/snapping/canning beans is like a vacation for her! 😎
Congratulations on being married 38 years that’s awesome. Look forward to seeing all the videos every time. Thanks, Greg. Will continue to be a long time subscriber and your products are superior to none. Every time I plant my garden I only use your products and your seeds.
Here in Missouri for greenbeans I like a bush variety like blue lake, golden wax or royal purple. I've found if I pick them every 2 to 3 days and they have enough water I can pick them for a long time. Now extreme heat and dry we usually lose them. So I'm sure thats a battle in the south. I did some black beans last year for dry beans
I have been growing green beans for decades. However, over the past few years I have started growing dry shelling beans (navy, great northern, kidney, and pinto) for fun as a fall crop. Here in north central Florida November and early December can be quite dry, which is ideal for maturing the dry beans that I planted in mid August. The only problem is that these beans are incredibly cheap to buy in bulk at the store, so it makes no economic sense to grow them at home, nor do the home grown dry beans taste any better than store bought.
Saute some garlic in olive oil and drop the green beans in for about 7 to 8 mins and they are delicious. You can also prepare the canned beans the same way.
I was bragging yesterday about the Hoss Kentucky Blue Pole Beans on my UA-cam Channel as a short. I love these fast growing delicious beans! Highly recommended them!
I planted 4 different varieties of beans in my backyard garden to see what grows best for next year’s garden. It will be interesting to see what happens in another month. Thanks for the tips.
I sure hope I can get a few pickins of green beans before the summer heat sets in. I planted more on June 9th, since my first plants didn't do well, (over watered them). They started sprouting June 12th. I didn't pull the first plants. I have pruned them back and they're actually recovering. I might just get some green beans yet.
Beans are pretty much essential for any sort of "survival" garden. Fresh, canned or dry, they're mighty good for you. And I'm pretty sure there's a variety of beans that you can grow in almost any climate or zone.
I agree that green beans are ignored and not given as much attention as other vegetables. One of our favs cooked with bacon butter and onions. Never have tried raw as a snack. thanks for info. ttyl
Have Momma Hoss in a video on how to can beans and other things. Supplies needed in the beginning and rookie mistakes to avoid. Seventy years ago I remember my grandmother and aunts buying bushels of tomatoes (we lived in New York City) and canning them for use in sauce. That is a skill that was lost.
Hey there! We actually have a playlist for Mama Hoss' videos! :) Including beans! Here is the link to the playlist but also, check in this videos description for the short link to her preserving green beans video! Thanks for your support! ua-cam.com/play/PLpE5HGhzrST-dw68NShmFT-TBK3PF-f0Q.html
I just harvested my first picken' of green blaze---besides being easy to grow, they taste great. The only thing I did wrong is not plant enough of 'em---great product
This year is one of my best years growing green beans. Already one huge picking last week and canned them. They are loaded up again. Have eaten and will eat some fresh. Once I use up my seed supply of green beans, I will give the Hoss Green Blaze a try.
We grew the green crop bush beans you have on your site last fall, great harvest. Harvested twice before an early frost got'em, or we could have gotten another. Froze all of ours, but going to try the canning this year.
Hey, Greg! I may try those next year - I've heard good things about them. Today I got my first picking of the Momentum bush beans - Lordy, to they ever produce, and temps in the 90's haven't bothered them at all. The dang pea curculio are horrible this year! Luckily, I got my three harvests on the Jade bush beans I planted before they really bad. We're getting daily rain here in the North Florida Panhandle, and I can't keep Spinosad or Azera on them! Once I get enough canned to last until next year, I'll just pull them, and this Fall, I'll use beneficial nematodes to get rid of the curculios. It's too hot to do it now, but when it gets cooler, those little buggers will clear them out.
Haven’t tried those, but love sybaris bush beans. Make all at once which is good for canning or machine harvest. May have to try the green blaze though.
I love growing yellow and green snap beans, but they do not do well in my huge pots. The foliage is pale green and only in September do they begin to grow beans. Same thing happening again this year. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for mentioning PEAS, for the life of me, I am not successful in growing peas! The seedling come up vigorously but then never grab on to the supports and end up dying. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Greg, this is tom out here in San Diego, I planted g-90 corn & its doing very good, but I’ve noticed a lot of small shoots coming off the main stalk, should I cut these off or leave them on?
Just for novelty, flowers are pretty and great for bees. Tobacco has always been considered as a medicinal plant. Before its use as a smoking material, it has been used as a traditional medicine for common illnesses. It is claimed to be an antiseptic, sedative, emetic, purgative and useful in relieving pain.
I picked my first green beans today. Rattlesnake beans are our favorite. I cooked them for supper and canned 7 pints. They were so good with fried squash and wieners and kraut. Yum! I’ve never grown them in the fall because I usually have plenty canned to last til the next year. Enjoy your videos and products.
Did four 100ft rows of PV857s. Literally had enough to feed the town last year. Only did two 100 foot rows this year to tone it down.😂

Love it!!
I don’t like store bought green beans but I love my garden Strang Banes.

Love beans.
As things get hotter and drier how about an episode on the various cow peas. Purple hull peas, etc. ?
They produce. They're delicious. And much easier to get from the garden to the can than other legumes. It's our primary canned good every year.

My 1st year growing Green Bean's🙌 from Hoss" they are looking great❤
That is awesome!

We grow October beans. We let them dry on the bush and shell them. They have a nutty flavor and they cook faster than pintos.
Saute some garlic in olive oil and drop the green beans in for about 7 to 8 mins and they are delicious. You can also prepare the canned beans the same way.
Sounds great!
Green beans are one of my favorite garden veggies!
Same here!

Fingers crossed!
Love cranberry beans

This is our second year growing Hoss Kentucky Blue Pole Beans they produce so many delicious beans its amazing how well they grow 👍
Sounds great!
I picked all mine, and will be putting a second sowing here in August. Really looking forward to trying the yellow wax beans I got from you.
I totally agree 100 percent. Nothing like fresh green beans.

We don’t buy them either hoss. No beans and never bought a can of corn. My grandparents taught us these things. ❤️
I started growing beans this year.🙂

A good video Thank you. A bit surprised that you never mentioned the Garden Soil Inoculant?
Great point!
Greg
Which type uses the least labor and materials bush type or pole type?
bush
My bush bean crop failed this year. I had fire ants "farming" root aphids. Killed the plants before the first picking.
I'm growing "volunteer" half runners this year. They ain't supposed to have flat beans and they're stringless
I grow mostly pole beans and really enjoy growing them, but may grow some bush beans in the future. What is your favorite pole bean?
rattlesnake
@@gardeningwithhoss Same here.
I love growing yellow and green snap beans, but they do not do well in my huge pots. The foliage is pale green and only in September do they begin to grow beans. Same thing happening again this year. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for mentioning PEAS, for the life of me, I am not successful in growing peas! The seedling come up vigorously but then never grab on to the supports and end up dying. What am I doing wrong?
When do you plant these for zone 8b East Texas ?
After your last frost.
What can I hit them & tomatos for aphas
Hi Greg, this is tom out here in San Diego, I planted g-90 corn & its doing very good, but I’ve noticed a lot of small shoots coming off the main stalk, should I cut these off or leave them on?
leave them on
How do you get the seedlings out of the trays? Do you have a video for it?
Take a pencil or stick and push from behind.
@@gardeningwithhoss thank you. How will I know when they are ready?
They have a good root system.
The deer ate all my beans. 😢
I want a green bean that contains Beans.
Why grow tobacco plants?
Just for novelty, flowers are pretty and great for bees. Tobacco has always been considered as a medicinal plant. Before its use as a smoking material, it has been used as a traditional medicine for common illnesses. It is claimed to be an antiseptic, sedative, emetic, purgative and useful in relieving pain.
I picked my first green beans today. Rattlesnake beans are our favorite. I cooked them for supper and canned 7 pints. They were so good with fried squash and wieners and kraut. Yum! I’ve never grown them in the fall because I usually have plenty canned to last til the next year. Enjoy your videos and products.
what is the heritage of the bean you named hoss green blaze?
It is a hybrid , bred by a Dutch company. They let us have the exclusive on it and name.
