    .
    I love growing bush beans. My mother was Ukrainian, and my father was a working Cossack, and the beans loved everything in our family. Now there are no parents, but we, their children and grandchildren, are still growing and preparing grain beans. I do not know the names of the variety, it was raised by my mother, and I really like it.
    I plant in mid-April, when the land in our south is already warming up well. I plant two grains in a row after 15-20 cm. Between the rows - 70-80 cm. When the beans bloom, it shrubs very much and the rows close, therefore weeding is necessary only at the beginning, and then the bushes grow and the weeds under them no longer grow .

    But it is necessary to spud it, as from strong winds the bushes can lie down. And further care is simple - occasionally watered, that's all. Blades ripen all at once, and it is not necessary to collect gradually. When they dry, you can cut them all off at once and clean them. If there are a lot of beans, it can be spread on the bedspread and trampled underfoot: the grains will spill out, and the remains of leaves and shoulder blades are removed manually.
    After cleaning, the grain must be dried for 5-1,5 days in the sun (fry). That's all - the grain is ready. I store it in plastic bottles with a volume of 2-7 liters from under the water. Pour into bottles, adding cloves of garlic, about 10-XNUMX pieces per bottle. So beans are stored for up to five years. Regardless of the shelf life, germination is good.
    I think our beans, especially those who do not live in the south, this bean is perfect for growing, since it has a small growing season, and where summer is short, it is important. Seeds can be bought at any store. Take the grains of red color, this is exactly the bush bean. And who needs green spatula, you can also use it, while the pods are still green.
    Well, that's all I wanted to say. All successes and harvests!

    The leaves of the bean dried up in summer and withered, but only at the edges. If it is a disease, then what to do?

      Most likely, the lack of potassium and (or) water appeared. Water the beans moderately, maintaining the soil moisture within normal limits. Before sowing (and even better - in the autumn), fill the garden with potash fertilizers. If this happens again in the new season, try to feed the plants with potassium salt or potassium chloride (2-3 g per 1 sq.m).

    Beans like when dry
    Bean is said to be a southern plant and matures poorly in Central Russia. Perhaps the 8 northern regions the way it is. But with us. in the Penza region, I plant it every year and always harvest a good crop.
    When there is no meat in the house, I easily replace it with beans. Dozens of dishes can be prepared from it - from salad to cake. But in order to get from this vegetable everything that he can give us, we must be able to save it. Since our climate is not hot, first of all, I dry the beans properly. Well, if it was a hot summer and she managed to mature and already dry in the garden. But even in this case, just in case, I warm it in the oven at 50 °. I spread it in an even layer on a baking sheet and keep it for about an hour. Warming is also necessary in order for the larvae of bean kernels, which are the first enemy during storage of beans, to die.
    Then I sort out the beans, removing the damaged ones. After that, I store the beans before frost in the refrigerator, and then I hang a cotton bag with beans on the carnations in an unheated room. I add a few cloves of garlic or dill seeds in the pouch, the smells of which scare off pests.
    If there are a lot of beans, I fall asleep after warming it in sterile jars under metal covers.

    Bean beds
    In the summer, I grow beans in the country, and with the arrival of cold weather I arrange beans "beds" on the windowsill. Only varieties I use dwarf, shrub and early ripening. Seeds wrapped in a day in a damp cloth, after which I sow a glass. To ensure that the seedlings do not stretch, immediately after their appearance, I place cups on a light loggia, where the temperature is about 15 °. After 5 days I put it into the room. As 3-4-th leaf appears, I take out plants with a clod of earth and transplant each into an 2-liter pot. I water the beans in the mornings so that by the night the top layer of soil is almost dry, I feed every 2 weeks. Sorts for home-growing I recommend these.
    Purple baby is an early ripe, unpretentious variety. On a bush with a height of 35-40 cm, 14-16 purple pods are formed.
    Deer king - this variety has white grain, low bushes. You can get several crops in a year!
    Sonesta is distinguished by spectacular bright yellow pods with white beans.
