Today I planted Amethyst String Beans at one of our community garden plots.
I planted with a young friend, Steve, my sharecropper?
No, I'm not charging him anything, I just rent beds there and then foist them on my friends!
The instructions called for 3 feet between rows but 8 seeds per foot!
This bed is only 4' wide, so we ran two rows, a foot in from either side.
We covered the seeds, then walked down the rows for better seed to soil contact, and watered it heavily.

The hoops are not netted yet, so we are using these boxes for crop protection.
