Beans are coming!

After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae.

Let's hope the abundant snails don't take too much.

My god, is everyone getting annihilated by the gastropods?

Also, what kind of beans?
- If it's slugs that are bothering you, the dish of beer trick does wonders for me.
  
  Put a shallow dish next to the problem plant and pour in some beer. The next morning you will have a dish full of dead slugs. Repeat for a few weeks until the problem goes away.
  
  I might give it a try. But it only works if it's not constantly raining. Unless... You put some roofing on those dishes
- They mostly took some young salads. But we try to pick em up all the time and feed them to the chicken.
  
  It's fava/broad beans in front and green beans in the back left of the picture.

  I gotta get out of the burbs. I saw a video once where someone made their garden inside a fence inside their chicken run. Kept calling it a "chicken moat" and ever since I've wanted poultry-based fortifications
Nice raised beds.
I love those spiral spikes, for the pole beans?
- For tomatoes, they are even called tomato stakes (eg https://www.gardeners.com/buy/spiral-plant-and-tomato-stakes/39-514.html).
Best be careful mentioning beans around these parts...
- How come?
  
  Lemmy goes crazy about beans and jeans, couldn't tell you why.
