Beans are in a prime site so nothing taking out moisture and plenty of organic matter went over them in November too. I am plagued with ants so this doesn’t help. I have watered through May but perhaps I should have watered earlier. Would have thought all the snow we had would have helped with the moisture content though. Interesting that others had blackfly problems last year but I had none. Pinched out tops but blackfly is everywhere. Reminds me of the year I grew lots of nasturtiums – it was an open party for blackfly the world over!
