Pole beans today getting the best watering they've had yet.
No. not of that one. It is one that has repeated each time so I think it is stabilized but it has never been productive. It just kind of limps along and never produces well. I sent you everything I had of Highlight.Do you have anymore Highlight seed. I planted some in flowerpots in the backyard only one came up and it doesn't look healthiy. Not sure if it will make any new seed. All I have is seed from 2016 and I would have to go through the whole process of stabalizing it. I thought maybe you have some good seed left.
Your bean garden is so pretty. Lovely looking soil too. Will be neat to see when it's all grown up and looking like a jungle.Pole beans today getting the best watering they've had yet.
Maybe you could lay a few sticks across the top to help discourage the bunny's courage? I don't have rabbits as bean predators here, but I assume they're cautious by nature and averse to things they're not sure of?Lost a handful of pole beans to rabbits, but not my network beans thankfully. I'm in the middle of Indianapolis, but we have tons of rabbits largely because they don't have any predators (and my dog is no help). They don't seem to go for the raised beds, but today's project was to try and deter them in one of my small beds where I just planted a bunch of beans...it's only 14" but hopefully it'll keep out the lazier ones at least.View attachment 57996
Our pet rabbit loves beans more than life itself. They are her greatest joy in life. I will have to keep a very close eye on my network beans to make sure she doesn't log them, and I am considering planter a special bean patch just for her to decimate.
