Bean planting | 2022 Season
This weekend was all about getting my hands dirty (and my little helper’s too!) as we dove into some serious bean planting. Nothing beats working in the garden with the crew—my awesome wife and the future gardening pro (aka our kiddo). You know, the ones who help me dig, plant, and cheer me on when I’m trying not to get covered in soil! 😂
Tilling the Garden Like a Pro 🌾
First things first—getting the garden ready for planting. I always start by tilling the soil, and if you’ve been following along, you’ve probably seen my pest control video. (If not, check it out—it explains why I till before planting and how it helps keep those pesky bugs in check!) After that, the garden bed is all prepped and ready for action.
Time to Plant Some Beans 🌱
Next up, it was time to plant some black beans and pinto beans. I started with the black beans first—those were all from seed. Black beans are a bit fussy sometimes, so I’ve learned to start them from scratch to get the best growth. But my pinto beans? Oh, they were already pregrown and ready to go! Starting my beans indoors before transplanting them into the garden is my secret to getting an early head start. It gives them a strong start and a better chance to thrive once they’re in the soil.
A Little Help from My Irrigation System 💦
After all the beans were tucked in and ready to grow, it was time to hook up the irrigation system. Got all the lines in place and tested out. I’m all about making sure the garden gets the water it needs, without any guesswork or wasted effort. Now, we just sit back, hope for some rain, and look forward to a healthy harvest!
Looking Forward to a Big Harvest
Now that the beans are in the ground and my irrigation system’s all set up, it’s time to cross my fingers for a bountiful harvest. Here’s hoping the season treats us right and we get those plump beans ready to hit the kitchen.
What’s your favorite kind of bean to grow? Let me know in the comments!
