Black Gumbo shares our suburban, backyard, sustainable gardening efforts. We work a small-scale teaching garden, much like the typical Zone 9a backyard garden and raised beds, the kind of gardening accessible to all. We also grow lots of fruit and berries. We tend to take the slice of life approach and hope you will enjoy our family, our dog, our cooking, our adventures, and occasionally some commentary and advice. We love family, joy and friendship, and we invite you to enjoy these things with us!

I seriously appreciate your laid-back approach to gardening, the way you work with Mother Nature, and the way you understand plants. It's very empowering. Case in point, I up-potted a bunch of crowded tomato starts in pots that a friend had given me. I'd been told never to tear them apart at the roots, but per your video I did just that, and they're doing so well, I'm going to have to give a bunch of them away! For this old gardener, you make a lot of sense!

I live in Houston and have harvested my beans about six times already, just delicious, planted bush variety from Hoss tools did great.

I've grown "Lazy Housewife" climbing french bean now for 5 years, it's stringless, and even when it gets big, it's still tender. And they get very big if you leave them. It has a wonderful flavour too. Well worth a try. Extremely heavy cropper too.

Hi Scott - I use Jim Crockett s advise for bush beans. I dig a trench with my hoe about 3-4” deep. Then broadcast liberally the seeds- nothing fussy - even 1” apart. Cover with soil so there is a low point. You get 3-4 times as many beans and they will support each other as they grow. Works like a charm . Keep up the great work - give Phoebe a treat. 👍

Wow Scott they look great. With butter and bacon, Yum.

Although we are not close geographically so much of what you do can work anywhere in the country. I have learned so much from you! Thank you!

I think I planted my beans too early, before the soil was warm enough and they rotted rather than sprout. Ok, time to replant.

My dad always had a garden and I loved helping him in it. Guess that's where it started for me 😊 I'm 61 and haven't nor will quit

We love and grow BUSH BEAN EARLY CONTENDER and I found them to be stringless. They are also very prolific.

Great job Scott

I love your channel. I started watching shortly before I got my pupper dog a few years ago. She passed away last week unexpectedly. She was my garden guardian. I hate to post this depressing shit for the tenth time on another post but it's just connected to everything for me. Who will protect my plants from squirrels now? Anyway I love your doggie Mr. Scott :)

I agree, 2 feet apart is plenty of room.
-
LOL you are harvesting green beans and my seeds wont be in the ground for another week Scott. Still nice to see growing plants.
