Hi from France!

Helicopter Hog hunting is about $3,000. I think that’s for people with more money than brains.

Surprised more farmers just don’t shoot them like we do ground hogs.

So what part of France are you in?

Hi, I'm Paul living in France. I've grown up in a farm (raising lamb), we had plenty of fruits trees and veggies. I've always like eating and gardening. I started my own garden in 2016 in Brookings SD as I was moving there for my PhD in Plant Science. Since then, I'm growing more and more food every year. I'm back to our farm in France and I'm starting to get serious about it. I love growing beans, there is so much diversity, and that is such a reliable source of food and yummingness throw-out the winter. I not sure how I came across the Russ's website, I guess I was doing some research in the SSE. I have a 100 ft sturdy double row that is waiting for new baby beans.
I hope you're having great harvesting season.
Take care
Paul

Hello Paul and welcome. I am glad you found us. I also enjoy growing beans and plan to plant more next year. Plus, they are supposed to help the soil, so a lot of next year's crop will be beans. Though winters where I am at are too hard from growing anything without a greenhouse, I will be outside come March/April to get my garden going again.

That's more regulated in France. You need a permit, there are quotas and hunters have to gather few times a year to hunt boar. Usually farms report to hunter big proliferation. If there are too much damage in the crops, the hunting society have to financially compensate the farmers. I'm in the south west.

Hi Jane,
Yep, beans and legumes improve soil fertility (and food safety).
Holy cow! I've always wanted to visit Montana (in summer), but gardening sounds tough. Watching seedlings in February and March helps to go through the winter
Stay warm!

While at Normandy, we (in spite of guides yelling at us about wild hogs killing us) followed trail to beach. Gave me a whole new outlook on invasion. Wha were they going to do? Make me go home?

Welcome, Paul!
I love growing beans too but unfortunately the bean beetles are a huge problem for me. I still grow them since they are a crucial part of my diet.
Please post more pics. I would love to see your garden.

Too bad! That kind of beetles ruined my peas and favas, as this year was very hot and dry. Next year I will grow these early in my greenhouse and I hope to have less issues. I also need them too! I'm trying to select peanuts and I hope to have a decent harvest next years.

I wish I could say that. Mostly we are still under snow in February and March. It didn't stop snowing until May this year. Montana is hot during the summer. The best time to visit is in the late spring or mid-fall. You will miss the 100+ degree temperatures.
