Newbie gardener. Beans doing poorly.
(lemmy.world)
I built a new bed this year and started some beans, tomatoes, and zucchini from seed. The beans were in blast off mode in the starter pots before I planted them, literally climbing my windows. The day I planted them in the bed, however, they started struggling and don’t seem to be recovering. I am at a loss what is going on here and hoping one of you kind folks can help me. Photographed is one of the leaves that seemes to just be curling up and dying. Please help!
Direct seed doesn’t work if pigeons inhabit your area.
Oh man. Don't get me started on this. I've had to reseed entire fields after crows walked down the aisles and literally just pecked where the seeds had been planted.
These days I've got feral chickens as my opponent, and they are far, far dumber than crows.
Their intellect is the problem with pigeons, they’ll see a bean sprout and think “oh that’s a worm!!” > pull it out > realize it’s inedible to them > “oh there’s a worm over there!!” > rinse and repeat until your entire plot is gone.
