We got your heat and dry weather. It was in the 90's with no thunderstorms. I actually had to water yesterday.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-88706869920992545822012-06-10T23:26:51.340-04:002012-06-10T23:26:51.340-04:00I didn't know you were a true southerner livin...I didn't know you were a true southerner living south of the Mason Dixon. :)<br /><br />Looks like we got some of your rain and cool temps. We finally got a good soaking today and it is only supposed to hit low to mid 80's this week.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18421605987086278458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-54471525545648674612012-06-10T21:29:03.228-04:002012-06-10T21:29:03.228-04:00Daphne, I don't mind it so much for the pole b...Daphne, I don't mind it so much for the pole beans. Once they put out there true leaves they will outgrow the bugs.

The germination with these bush beans has been excellent, even the older seed. It looks as though almost every seed has germinated. I'll be putting in a row of your 'Gourmet Green' beans this week.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-66934908049431393272012-06-10T21:22:38.609-04:002012-06-10T21:22:38.609-04:00Jenny, I'm having the same problem.

Everywhere else the spacing is much wider and the bugs are much fewer.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433165045195052022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-72589430222011340122012-06-10T16:07:48.523-04:002012-06-10T16:07:48.523-04:00I've had a lot of holey bean leaves.

It's blossoming now, just 47 days from planting. The same with the Gourmet Green French beans. They seem to withstand cold weather much better than others I've grown. They won't give me mature beans at 52-55 days, as the seed packets state, but they will be close.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189983137076734893.post-109395158138982762012-06-10T11:49:50.203-04:002012-06-10T11:49:50.203-04:00Good luck with the bugs not eating beans.
