Haha I am doing the same thing! First garden, I have tomatoes, zuchini, and beans and every morning I am running outside like it is Christmas. There are like 100 flowers on the zuch but so far nothing and I am like “C’MON!”
Looks like you got one tho!
I have been considering a second quest play lately. All these years I have never played the second quest.
Yes the music in the Mega Man games is legendary
Every so often I will fire up my copy of Mega Man 2 and run through it.
Robot. Always robot.
Haha I appreciate the honesty. Thanks for the reaponse. It sounds overall like I shocked it when I planted it and it will hopefully pull through
Oh that is great to hear! Thanks for the info! I am very hopeful they will oull through
Thank you for the detailed response. I will keep in mind your first point for next year definitely. it was evident to me that the beans started and grew way faster than anything else I was planting so it sounds like it would make sense to plant them directly in the bed next time. Good tip.
It is the beginning of the season where I am. I only just put them in the ground ~10 days ago. The growing season has just begun. So no beans and they (hopefully) have not reached the end of their life cycle.
As I said in another post this is a newly built bed for this year, so the soil isn’t what I would call “mature” although from a gardening standpoint I am not sure what that means. I did not (foolishly?) combine the fresh raised bed mix soil with my existing, i just put it on top. Succeed or fail, I will leave the roots in the ground at the the season.
I do have plenty of wood ash. I have a wood burning stove and a bucket full of ash that I can easily add. How much do you recommend?
My watering schedule so far has been “whatever nature is doing”. For much of the week and a half or so that they have been in the ground it has been rainy and overcast. Only the last 2 or 3 days has it been sunny.
I appreciate your feedback.
Yes there is some newer growth above this that looks normal (I’d say). But growth is way slower than it was just in the starter pots.
It did rain several times since planting a week and a half or so ago. It has been rainly and overcast until a couple days ago when the sun came out and it has warmed up. I have not been directly watering the garden because I thought there has probably been enough rain. The bed I built is 8’x4’x6” bed which I filled with Coast of Maine Raised Bed mix:

I didn’t! Mainly because I didn’t know I needed to. Is it too late you think?
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!
Hey! Thanks for following up. I think it was the transplanting because about a week later they started sprouting newer much healthier looking leaves. one of the vines has grown about 6 feet or so and might be getting a little TOO big. The others are not quite as robust but seem to be doing OK.
No beans yet, but I do have a zucchini growing which I am pleased about! Hopefully the beans are not too far behind.
Thanks again!
