Where Are The Beans? 

I sowed pole beans a while back in the same bed as last year because of the trellis. That wasn’t a good idea because evidently the beans from last year put a lot of nitrogen into the soil. I’ve read that no beans and only leaves could be a sign of too much nitrogen. The vines were so beautiful, but without the flowers there are no beans. So it was time to remove the vines and plant a heavy feeder that would deplete the nitrogen so I can plant pole beans there in the future. I chose to plant corn so that I could use the trellis as a support for the corn stalks. I should have plenty of time to grow more corn. I’ll see how it grows in the trellis.
