luck in transplanting beans?

16 years ago

I discovered this forum a few weeks ago and I am sooo excited about WS! Just a few questions- I see beans and peas are OK to WS but how do they transplant? Any secrets to the WS container used, individual pots or just 1g jugs? My beans were overtaken by weeds last year, (quake grass) and I am really wanting a lot of varieties this year to try out.

Thanks for any help!

Hi Kfarm,
Beans transplant fine when still small. I do a modified version of WSing for them. I do sow them outside, but I do it in late May here once nights are 50 and above. I use regular seedling six packs that I save. I don't cover them or anything. I sow a bean in each cell. I keep the six packs up on a cart so no mishaps with the dogs or me will happen. Then when they get a few true leaves, I transplant them into the garden.

Thanks for the info, Remy. I thought they might do better in individual cups. Gotta try it!
