After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae.
Let's hope the abundant snails don't take too much.
Nice raised beds.
My god, is everyone getting annihilated by the gastropods?
Also, what kind of beans?
If it's slugs that are bothering you, the dish of beer trick does wonders for me.
Put a shallow dish next to the problem plant and pour in some beer. The next morning you will have a dish full of dead slugs. Repeat for a few weeks until the problem goes away.
I might give it a try. But it only works if it's not constantly raining. Unless... You put some roofing on those dishes
They mostly took some young salads. But we try to pick em up all the time and feed them to the chicken.
It's fava/broad beans in front and green beans in the back left of the picture.

I gotta get out of the burbs. I saw a video once where someone made their garden inside a fence inside their chicken run. Kept calling it a "chicken moat" and ever since I've wanted poultry-based fortifications
Hehe, yeah why not. I'll soon try what the chicken does when I let it run on the beds. We just got one recently and will get at least one or two more soon.
I love those spiral spikes, for the pole beans?
For tomatoes, they are even called tomato stakes (eg https://www.gardeners.com/buy/spiral-plant-and-tomato-stakes/39-514.html).
Best be careful mentioning beans around these parts...
How come?
Lemmy goes crazy about beans and jeans, couldn't tell you why.
Urgh, I 'member :D
