  • Hey! Thanks for following up. I think it was the transplanting because about a week later they started sprouting newer much healthier looking leaves. one of the vines has grown about 6 feet or so and might be getting a little TOO big. The others are not quite as robust but seem to be doing OK.

    No beans yet, but I do have a zucchini growing which I am pleased about! Hopefully the beans are not too far behind.

    Thanks again!

  • Haha I am doing the same thing! First garden, I have tomatoes, zuchini, and beans and every morning I am running outside like it is Christmas. There are like 100 flowers on the zuch but so far nothing and I am like “C’MON!”

    Looks like you got one tho!

  • Thank you for the detailed response. I will keep in mind your first point for next year definitely. it was evident to me that the beans started and grew way faster than anything else I was planting so it sounds like it would make sense to plant them directly in the bed next time. Good tip.

    It is the beginning of the season where I am. I only just put them in the ground ~10 days ago. The growing season has just begun. So no beans and they (hopefully) have not reached the end of their life cycle.

    As I said in another post this is a newly built bed for this year, so the soil isn’t what I would call “mature” although from a gardening standpoint I am not sure what that means. I did not (foolishly?) combine the fresh raised bed mix soil with my existing, i just put it on top. Succeed or fail, I will leave the roots in the ground at the the season.

    I do have plenty of wood ash. I have a wood burning stove and a bucket full of ash that I can easily add. How much do you recommend?

    My watering schedule so far has been “whatever nature is doing”. For much of the week and a half or so that they have been in the ground it has been rainy and overcast. Only the last 2 or 3 days has it been sunny.

    I appreciate your feedback.

  • It did rain several times since planting a week and a half or so ago. It has been rainly and overcast until a couple days ago when the sun came out and it has warmed up. I have not been directly watering the garden because I thought there has probably been enough rain. The bed I built is 8’x4’x6” bed which I filled with Coast of Maine Raised Bed mix:
