HELLO HIVE

Beans are excellent plants in many gardens and a favourite crop for both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Not only are they nutritious and delicious, they also improve soil nutrients.

We’re looking at the fascinating stages of bean growth.

Focusing on the flowering process and seed-producing part, the flowering part is a part of the sign that the process of the bean productivity is doing the way is supposed to be because when the bean starts showing very beautiful flowers it means that the beans are healthy and ready for production.

The small beautiful flowers when begin to show these flowers are beautiful But not just beautiful cause they are necessary for the bean's productivity also insects like bees help in pollinating by transferring pollen from one flower to another, setting the stage for pod development.

During this process, it’s essential to monitor the plants for any pests or diseases that might affect pod development.

Regular watering and providing additional support if necessary (like a trellis for climbing varieties) can help ensure a bountiful.

And what are the steps for successful bean harvest

  1. watering: the beans need watering but not over-watering.

  2. sunlight: the sun also needs sunlight to improve the bean's process and make them healthy

  3. soil: make sure the sun is reached in organic matter to support or help healthy plant growth

  4. insecticide: this process is very necessary for the bean's production cause they are insect which feeds on the bean's seedlings.

Most people ask how do we know when the beans are ready for harvesting ???

The pods will start drying up when they reach their full size, or if you plan to store the beans for long periods just make sure the pod dries well before harvesting the seeds which are saved can also be used for next year's planting.

Knowing the correct time for harvesting beans can also can also make a big difference in taste.

1: the green Beans: they are to be harvested when pods are young and tender before the seeds fully develop inside

2: the shell beans: they are to be harvested when the pods start developing

3: dry beans: they are to be harvested when the pods are dry
