Growing Scarlet Runner Beans at Home: STEP 5 'Plant' & 'Right Spot'
Показать описание
Ada & Melody’s are back! Dad has helped get the new planting area ready by removing weeds and laying down a 2”’ish layer of compost from their local garden store, our fabulous Stonewall Farm or the City’s compost pile. Melody has watered the sprouts in their cups just to make sure that they’re nice and moist before planting.
Watch them:
Dig a hole right at the base of the trellis and railing the plant will climb up. At this home, they’re planting three sprouts. One in the middle of the south-facing railing. The other two are at the ends of the railing so that the vine can climb along the sides of the porch railing as well.
Remove the sprouted seeds from the paper cups. Melody puts her fingers on either side of the sprout and gently turns the cup upside down to tap out the soil and sprout. Try to keep the whole thing together, roots and soil, intact, cup-shaped. Look at all of those roots! Ready to go!
Place this cup-shaped soil & sprouted seed into the hole at the same soil level. Ada pushes in the surrounding soil to make sure that all of the roots are covered. She presses the soil down gently but firmly.
Water the plant and the surrounding soil gently but thoroughly. If using a hose, make sure to put your thumb on the end to create a shower. The challenge is to keep all of the roots covered and thoroughly water all of the soil in the whole planting area. This will encourage the roots to grow outward, seeking more water.
Lay a 2”’ish layer of shredded back mulch or shredded leaves over the planting area around the bean sprout. This will help to keep the soil and roots moist. It will also moderate the soil temperature and make future weeding easier.
We have several supplies: small hand trowel/s, a watering container, the sprouted seeds and shredded bark mulch.
BACKGROUND:
"Easy-Peasy" is a beginner's and/or family, garden program meant to give anyone with some soil (under a fence or in a pot), sunshine (6-8 hours of full sun), a vertical element (such as a fence, trellis or suspended strings), and water (from a hose or a bucket), the simple steps to grow vegetables right at home! We started the growing season with peas, now we’re starting beans and right next, cucumbers and small pumpkins. A person or family can grow just one or all four! Each of these vegetables are easy starters and produce an abundant, fun crop with regular attention.
Every week Healthy Home Habitats posts free, Step-By-Step, “How-To” videos showing our neighborhood children taking steps to grow seeds into fabulous, tall, vines that flower and create beautiful, yummy, pea pods, cucumbers, string beans or pumpkins for fun, healthy eating right at home! Again, a person or family can grow just one choice or all four. All of the seeds are organic and purchased from a New England provider, Johnny's Seeds which is 100% employee owned.
There are three options for obtaining seeds:
#1 - Buy your own seeds,
#2 - Buy a packet/s from a green cooler behind my mailbox at 25 Beech St., Keene, NH for $5 cash. Each packet is for a small planting of a single type of plant, perfect for beginners. The Sugar, Snap Pea packets have 20 seeds. The Scarlet Runner Beans are big plants and will have 15 seeds in their packets. Both the Corinto Cucumbers and the Cinnamon Girl pumpkins have 15 seeds in each packet as they are very big plants as well. These are just the right number of seeds for a beginner project, reducing the possibility of wasting organic seeds and/or the abundance of vegetables they can produce!
