Garden update May 24 - picking more snap beans

[shishiromura]

its funny that if you grow weed you know how to pick the majority of plants.

[potboy321]

WOW! I just planted 2 green bean plants and are just starting to give beans but this was a test to see if I could actually do it. Next time, I will grow many more bean plants and multiply my harvest.....LOL

Keep up the good work.

[thewizardking13]

I planted burgundy bush beans.I love how theyre purple when you pick them,and turn green when you cook em'.They add a lil color to the garden and easier to spot.Think I'm gonna start canning some today.

[annemhsingmom]

LOL @ trying to teach kids!

sometimes with some kids it's easier if you send them with school scissors so they won't harm the plant. works with my little one.

oh yeah and if a kid sits down to look especially if the plants are really loaded then they won't "overlook" some of the fruits of the plant.

[k3nm3ist3r]

I grew my first garden last year, I would think I had every bean of the right size picked and then go back and find another hat full that I had missed!

[slowtaknow]

you can plant 3 times down here if need be

What kind of bean were yours

[dasgemuse]

wall2rockclimber recently did a two part video about gathering wild plants for food. it is an excellent video, however, he lives on an entirely different continent, and seeing as how you live in the same state as me. i was wondering if you could make a similar video about edible plants in your area. thanks

[TheGrayman1234]

Teach them kids right. Good stuff.

[easyben21]

500 beans 5 squash =X

[jstrunck]

Looks Good!

[justinus88]

just out of interest how many pea plants have you got? cuz that was a nice yield

[mrmonkeyman50]

How big is the garden? How many plants are producing those beans? Are you going to be able to get the same amount of beans in 3 days from these same plants? THANKS!!!

[survivalistboards]

@mrmonkeyman50 - I'am estimating the length of the rows at around 50 - 60 feet, maybe 75 feet at the most, and there are 3 rows.

If we could get some rain, the plants would probably produce that many beans every 5 days.

It was 7 days between the 2 harvest videos, and some of the beans had been picked by the family members that live close to the garden.

[mrmonkeyman50]

@survivalistboards Thank you for the additional info.

[hyperseauton]

Grenades instead of these yellow things! Bullets instead of peas. Magazines instead of pea fruits.

[D0cTerG0nZ0]

YOU ARE BOSSY!

[Sweetpickledhearts]

ah yes, the generation of convenience.

[Aqualiteking]

Do those peas grow freestanding?

[tekknorat]

@Aqualiteking yeah, these are the ones that doesn't grow high.

[ivageivage]

[waylan3]

[papasimian]

Nice haul bud. The LORD always provides, doesn't He? God Bless!

[tuthmes]

Bless the children, For what we know we teach.. And pray it sticks!!!!

[practicalskills]

thats an awesome haul

[skinity]

could you explain why you dont weed your garden

[link10909]

@skinity Some weeds keep the soil from blowing away,not to mention is a pain is the back to weed far easier to just plant a few more and get the same harvest.

[tekknorat]

@link10909 it's something like the plants are in their natural environment?

[trailtreeisland]

now, a little olive oil in the frying pan, some bacon and maybe some pine nuts and don't forget the garlic. Dinner is Done.

[xle5363]

you are teaching them kids right

[ike7332]

nice i am about to do the same thing thanks.

[SurvivalPete]

Impressive.  I just planted three rows of these in my garden. Getting a late start.

[biguy525]

Do you ever find any rattlesnakes under the bushes?

[shogott]

these videos are really interesting :)

good job guys!

[dawg1157]

Wow...some kids just can't understand

[survivalistboards]

@dawg1157 - nope, they sure dont. When I was growing up, my parents planted potatoes, beans,,,, all kinds of stuff. One time we filled up the back of a chevy truck with purple hull pink eye peas.
