2026 Little Easy Bean Network – Plant A Garden, Water Your Soul, Join Our Family

I rototilled a few volunteer bean plants in my biggest high tunnel. I had pulled plants and dried them down in the aisles between the beds last fall and some beans obviously ended up all over the ground. I was surprised to see they had germinated on their own in the cool conditions we had, but it gets lots warmer in the high tunnel.

My first successions of peas are already up.

I have flowers on my first pea! I used the open bottle trick to give the sprouts and roots some protection, it seems to have worked well, it is thriving!
