Before, After
I seeded this Royal Burgundy Bean inside in the middle of June.
Along with this Japanese Melon seedling. Out of 12 seedlings of various vegetables planted, only three were viable, and a Japanese Parsley croaked outside.
I hardened these seedling outside on the front porch with part sun, part shade, for a couple of weeks.
Then I planted them, did everything right. I planted them in the bright sun (figuring we only have about a month left of long sunny days and they’d need every day), still in the cups, which are supposed to biodegrade. After one week, the bean looks like this.
It added a couple of leaves right away, then, the original leaves fell off, and the rest are yellow and withering. I am watering every day. So, it’s either too much water, or too strong of sun. It’s been very hot and sunny for here, so it was quite an adjustment going out there, or maybe I’m just overwatering? The melon is faring better.
The same melon species, but, a month older.

Rene drove by and suggested I might have used too much fertilizer when I planted it. đ
I’m learning from you and Anna, so no advise… But, it makes me excited to move back to the States and start growing my own đ 6 weeks to go!
What part of the country are you moving back to? West Coast?
Moving back to South Florida, although I’m spending 5 days in LA on my way home next month. I love the west coast, but the kids and grandkids are “back east” đ
Please call when in L.A.! Maybe you can stop by! Send me an email and I’ll give you my number. – Kaye
yellow leaves are often a sign of too much water. glad your melon is coming along
Ithink you need to plant your beans directly in the ground. I don’t think they transplant very well.
Ah, like carrots, okay, I’ll know better next time. I’ve planted three other bean seedlings from the nursery and had no luck at all. Thanks for reading, Dan! – Kaye
