Something awful is happening to my beans. It's hot and very dry--getting up into the lower nineties--but that's not the whole story. They look diseased. Whether it's just a normal bean virus getting a foothold because the plants are stressed by heat or whether it was a bad variety of bean, I am determined not to order it again.
However, the purple hull peas look great and I'm even seeing a few tiny, potential pea pods.
Yesterday I watered the south plot for a full 1-1/2 hours and today I'm doing the same with the north plot. The south plot looks good--the soil is still nicely dark. If it looks the same tomorrow I might skip a day and try to get them on a 3-day schedule.
Finally! Here's that weird bug I was trying to ID a few years ago. I'm sure it's a predator of some sort. My good friend.
