Magic Beans: At Two Weeks In (Now with Purple Potatoes)
Channel: Summerville Gardener
Date: 26/03/2024

After just 2 weeks, quite a few bush beans are coming up, not so much on the pole beans though. As a bonus, I'm taking a look at the purple potatoes too! I'm not sure what happened to the potato planting video. I'm going to try to get that uploaded shortly.

I'm not a normal gardener. I'm randomly planting pole and bush beans around my landscape to see what effect the landscaping has on the growth and development of the beans and the plants. I'm planting in compost, along side bananas and potatoes, I'm even planting them in raw woodchips. It's an experiment in bean plants, see what works and what works with more or less success.

Located in Summerville, SC, where the line of Zone 8B and 9A goes nearly straight across our property. So what to do? I'm going to try growing anything I can get away with from zones 9 and maybe 10! Might be getting some guava, papaya, and even mango’s to try to get them to grow and thrive in our little food forest.

I have watched days to weeks worth of YouTube videos on Back to Eden Gardening, wood chip gardening, permaculture, planting guilds and many other styles of gardening. I’m doing my own thing but still following what I’ve learned from all of these great youtube teachers, as well as grow a regenerative and organic garden. But seriously, a big thank you to all the creators I’ve been watching that have been outstanding at teaching me. I can only hope my videos continue to assist others and show that anyone with the willingness to try this, you can do it too!
