As we gear up for bean season, let's talk strategy! Direct sowing beans can be tricky, especially with pesky critters or overly moist soil. But fear not! One workaround is starting them in 72 Celsius trays, creating sturdy little plugs for later transplanting. My personal favorite? The versatile and resilient Rattlesnake pole beans. With their vining nature and gorgeous purple-streaked pods, they're a win-win.
Find seeds for beans on my website.

Perfect time now that it’s Autumn to get your beans and peas into the ground.
Direct sowing is easy peasy - I’m growing @tuigardenandhome Sugar Snap Peas, @kingsseedsnz Tall Climbing Peas and Cobra Runner Beans.

Pole beans are one of my favourite veggies to grow in summer. Growing them on tunnels or trellises not only maximizes my growing space it also looks pretty awesome. 😊 I grow a rainbow of varieties like Purple Podded Pole, Emerite, Fortex, Purple Peacock, Gold Marie, Rattlesnake, and French Gold. What are your fave like beans to grow?

Easy supports in the garden. It doesn’t need to be expensive or complicated.
I would only recommend this for dwarf beans though 😂😅

Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen, my fava beans! The pods sprouted tremendously overnight! It’s no surprise, given the warmer weather we’ve been experiencing; they’re now in their final stage of their growth!
Did you know…
🫘Our rows of beans are 25m long
🫘There are 2 rows of beans in each bed.
🫘There are approx 300 bean plants in one row
🫘We get approx 40kg of beans from one row
🫘It takes approx 4 hours to pick one of those rows of beans!
This week we picked almost 100kg of beans! That’s a lot of kneeling!
Enjoy your beans this week!

We’re growing beans for donation this year, and here’s why ⬇️
Bush beans are compact and productive, whereas pole beans grow vertically and offer a continuous harvest.
Plant them once soils hit about 50-60 degrees. Keep picking to keep production going. But here’s what’s super cool about them.
One of the best parts about growing beans is that they’re powerful nitrogen-fixers. That means they work in partnership with beneficial bacteria (Rhizobia) that live in nodules on their roots. Together, they convert atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) into ammonia (NH₃), which acts like a natural fertilizer.
🍅📲 Donate your extra beans easily through the Fresh Food Connect app! Download the app at the link in our bio.
🫘Here’s your beans bodyguard line-up ⤵️
🌱Dill, Cilantro & Alyssum controls aphids by bringing in the good bugs like lacewings, parasitic wasps & ladybugs who love a good aphid buffet.
🌱Rosemary, Catnip, Chamomile, Marigolds & Summer Savory repel Mexican Bean Beetles.
🌱Nasturtiums serve as a deterrent for bean beetles & a trap crop for aphids.
My goal for my beans is to alternate an herb and a flower.
We want to attract the beneficials in with the flowers and repel the bad pests with the herbs (scent).

🐍 Rattlesnake Pole Bean is a fast-climbing, high-yield pole bean reaching up to 10 feet. Its green pods with purple streaks turn solid green when cooked, and the long, tender beans hold up beautifully to canning or freezing.
Crisp right off the vine, tossed into a quick sauté, or added to hearty casseroles!
Weeded, top-dressed with compost, planted, and a little mention about the awesome Winged Bean. Next!
