Something special about that first day you plant beans into the ground...🤩
Still trying to finalise the place for everything, but there is still time. Just the rows of potentiality is so merrymaking!
The soil was cold and sticky to put those fava beans in, but I was so happy to be planting I didn't mind a bit.

Not a member bean, But I just put my wild soybean seedlings in the cold frame, to be transferred to their permanent place when they get permanent leaves.

@Artorius I'm thinking of planting those Piekny Jas beans into containers tomorrow, so I can plant them out as transplants instead of seeds. But I remembered today that I did have some runner beans rot on me last year when I started them in pots (Sadie's Horse) and that runners do grow pretty fast too. Our usual plant out day here is end of May, early June depending on the weather. Do you think it's too early to start them, or just plant them in ground instead? They may spend a month in the pots if the weather acts up.

if you keep them warm enough until they sprout they should be ok. use a deeper and bigger pot.

@heirloomgal
Planters in Poland have already sowed runner beans in the fields. I know because I read their forum
According to forecasts, last night was to be the last with a probability of frost. I wanted to be ready on May 15 and I will. I start planting the runner beans in the pots about 3 weeks before this date. I'll be transplanting them next week.

Runner beans (Sadie's Horse, Jeżycka)


Limas (Ping Zebra, Garrofon De Valencia, Red Dutch, Potawatomi)


Pole beans (long list )


I have this order of planting beans: runner beans, limas, pole, half-runner and bush.

I ran out of some space so I decided to take him away from the swamp . I still have to prepare them. It is located higher than the rest of the area. The soil is beautiful on it. Its lumps crumble in the fingers even when it is wet.



The rest of the area looks like this

Piekny Jas is going to “jump” out the gate like Secretariat.

Rough guess @Artorius how many beans transplants does that add up to?
