These were planted 16 Jul. I raised the anti-bird screen to give them room to grow. Every seed germinated within about four days - pretty good I think. They will need to be thinned next week.
I planted a row of beans where I dug potatoes the past couple of days. It's a little exposed but also a little protected, from deer and rabbits. I will try to protect them with more fencing once they grow bigger. This finished off the packet of fast growing "Contender" beans.
There was a little more space, so I also planted some seeds from an old packet of "Roma" beans. I actually like those a lot.
Tomorrow is expected to be very hot. I don't want them to dry out, so after watering them, I covered the row with cardboard to keep them moist.
It's late for planting bush beans, but climate is changing and the extra warmth might speed them up enough for a good harvest.
