I’m loving these past few walk around videos! Thanks for showing the good & the less good. I appreciate seeing and hearing the details about what your seeing...like identifying the pests and such. Thanks Travis!!
Yes Sir! Keep pluggin' along.... Thank you for sharing Travis,i appreciate it. Learn as much as you can, from anyone you can, anytime you can. Learnin' alot from your channel. I'm in Bartow GA, purdy good drive down to your neck of the woods, but would like to visit the farm sometime.
I appreciate you showing how the beans did. They look just like mine did several months back. I planted purple teepee bush beans and got one good harvest before they yellowed and got rust. The beans were curly rather than straight. and the plants looked pitiful. I thought I was doing something wrong but I think the heat may have been the culprit.
I'm in south west mississippi and this year has been terrible for me. I grow and sell to the farmers market and here at my farm. Tomatoes was a complete fail because of to much rain. Now this crazy heat has really worked on the fall stuff. Now I had the same win as you on the cucumbers. My spring time cucumbers didn't do good at all, lots of male blooms and no female blooms. My fall cucumbers look awesome tons of cucumbers. CRAZY CRAZY YEAR! Really enjoy watching yalls videos!
Extreme heat here in high altitude northern AZ, with waves after waves of insect pests, some of which we had never seen before in 15 years of gardening here. Huge infestations of June bug grubs, thrips, cucumber beetles, Colorado potato beetles, aphids, leaf hoppers, flea beetles, and a couple of things that we haven’t even been able to ID. Biggest successes were onions and garlic. We got an OK crop of potatoes. The early crops: spinach, beets, radishes and pac Choi, did well in the greenhouse. The peas and snow peas did very well this spring. Beans were a major fail, mostly due to grubs and heat. Peppers did OK and are now producing well. Just now getting a few tomatoes! Thanks for the honesty! It is nice to know that we are not the only ones with issues!
Travis, Thanks for your Honesty, I planted some Pole Beans also about the same time you did, with the same results as you . You are right, late summer hear in South Ga. has been brutal. HOT & DRY !
Thank you for sharing a "failure". It helped me so much. I'm sick of seeing videos where people say it's a failure & all they do is show their greenhouse successes! I love the realistic view because in north TX the heat is crazy!
I had the same bean results here in East Texas. I was thinking it was pilot error, but I’m somewhat happy to know it was a result of this heat. On a positive note, I am now digging Georgia Jet sweet potatoes. Thanks for turning me on to them.
Travis this year in Oklahoma the weather has been crazy for planting. In the Spring we battled heavy rains/flooding then it turn hot and dry. Lost my sweet corn and green beans, the okra (Hoss green and red brand) did real well, and the potatoes even though planted real late did okay.
In zone 7 and my first ever attempt at gardening veggies, I started my seeds July 9. Cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers and later on Bush blue lake beans, zucchini and some herbs. The tomatoes didn’t grow except three which have been putting on, surprisingly. Radishes I planted twice failed to grow roots. Cucumbers did well, beans are still coming and I just harvested my first four zucchini. They grew fast. The bell peppers finally put on but with our first frost estimated October 16, I doubt they get to maturity as they grow very slowly. My okra did well and got big, but I just got three pods. They’re blooming but not producing. The cakes are turning yellow. Didn’t have much trouble with pests, a few worms I picked off. No aphids. I just planted more radish, just tossed the seeds out, onions, cabbages and plan on putting in garlic as soon as one of my raised beds finish. I’ve got more zucchini plants growing up and I’m positive they will give me fruit before the frost.
Same thing happened here! Planted blue lake and strike bush beans in August just like I do every year but it's been hot here too and it was an epic fail but the broccoli and cabbage is doing fine! Lol
Nice vid 💚... successes- my Cherokee tan pumpkin seeds I got from Danny & Wanda .... one vine- 14 pumpkins so far! I’m saving & sharing seeds for sure!
I have been learning to garden for the past 25 years and every year I'm learning more, I know your video is a bit old BUT ☝️ I do love the idea of your trellis, it seems so much easier to work with. If you would, please tell me what to ask for when I go to the store for that netting for the plants? I would greatly appreciate it!!!! I have Tposts in but I just DON'T want to deal with the string anymore.🙏🙏👍👍 Thank you.
I got maybe two harvests of green beans off my blue lake pole beans before rust did them in. I've never had such an issue like that before. It too has been very hot and dry here in zone 6b. WV is going through a drought which is unheard of. However, my sugar pie pumpkins, green striped cushaw squash, peppers, tomatoes, and napa cabbages are doing good as long as I keep up the watering. 15+ small pumpkins off of one huuuuuge plant! My first time growing them so I'm super happy. I'm gonna buy some of those Stonewall cucumber seeds for next year, they sound great. I hope they stand up to cucumber beetles as they are always a big issue for me every year, even with spraying spinosad and neem oil.
Seems like many folks are having a rough time with beans this year. We haven't noticed any cucumber beetle issues with the Stonewalls. Give them a try!
Planting a seed is a genuine exercise of FAITH! If I quit taking chances, I quit gardening! Failures too numerous to name here. It's truly been one of the toughest years I've had in memory. Straight from cold spring rains (flooding) to two major droughts, the last of which we are still in! Tomatoes were an epic failure, disease and pest pressure was relentless! Oh sure, we got tomatoes, but nothing like we want or need. Spring brassicas were not great either, pests and heat took a heavy toll. We got plenty of collards, but the broccoli and cabbage struggled. On the other hand, carrots, onions and garlic did well and we had a bumper squash harvest. Bush green beans did fine, just a little lighter than what we like. Lima beans and melons are still producing. It's a crap shoot, what are you gonna do?!
First sweet potato crop was a bust. I grew potatoes but they were huge ( the size of small footballs) and ugly. They were harvested at 110 days. I suspect the irregular rain had some negative impact. We’ll try again next year.
We don't have very high expectations for our sweet potatoes, but we really haven't done anything to them. So if they don't make much, we haven't loss much.
I've had my share of fails. Half my sweety (tomato) plants went belly up. Cucumbers down the tube, and beans kicked the bucket. I believe I have some of the problems identified. The last two contracted a bad case of "Ruth itus". I'm getting some cameras so I can keep a better eye on my problem areas.
Zone 5b Chicagoland. Epic failure: KY Wonder & Scarlet Runner pole beans, straight 8 cucumber and Red Burgandy okra (stalks and leaves like trees but not one fruit). Epic success: blackberries, cucamelons, garlic, kale and Blue Lake bush beans (3 flights) all an abundance. Several days of rain coming so I fear the fungus will prevail.
Sounds like the okra may have had too much nitrogen. If too much is present, they will make all vegetation and no pods. Good to hear the other crops did well though!
Sorry about your Kentucky Wonders, Travis. For some reason, they don't tend to do very well here where I am. I have better luck with Blue Lake and Rattlesnake beans. This year, I've planted and set up a trellis for a row of Rattlesnake beans, because I understand that they are the most heat tolerant. We'll see....Right now, they're up about 6 or 7 inches, and look fine. My biggest failures have been corn, squash and melons - Y'all have helped me with the corn - I think I'll get a good stand if I plant it on drip tape next year. The squash, cucumbers and melons have always been inundated with powdery mildew. I've got squash and cucumbers planted on drip tape right now, and so far, they're looking pretty good - Keepin' my fingers crossed.....
My beans are looking the same way. They are producing a little, but they have quite a bit of rust on them. I'm planning on planting more when it gets a little cooler, like you had said. My failures this year: okra. I've planted so much okra this spring and mid-summer. Both crops just failed almost completely. I've planted almost 200 plants in the spring and probably close to that this summer, but something happened that killed about 80% of the plants. Very sad. My wins this year: eggplant and watermelon. This my first year growing eggplant. I bought your Nubia and Nadia varieties and they grew extremely well. They had little to no pest issues, they just kept producing loads, and they looked beautiful. The other win was watermelon. We've never been able to get watermelon to produce, but this year we harvested so many huge, heavy, beautiful, tasty watermelons! Like you said: you win some, you lose some. Can't give up.
@@gardeningwithhoss Last year our okra did fantastically, but this year it's been just a meh year for them for me. Hopefully they will do better next spring.
So far, I have realized that I need to plant more than one zucchini or a cucumber plant because if I don’t have pollinators I’m screwed… That’s my lesson this year
I only planted one zucchini and 1 yellow squash but was fighting squash vine borers every day. We are a family of two and those 2 plants gave us more than we can eat. Next year I will plant under cover and try pollinating by hand. Also succession plant. Maybe you can buy a bisexual type of cucumber that doesn't need a male and female plant and plant a flowering annual that bees like next to it?
Travis pity about the beans, in summer we get temps where some days it gets over 110 and that just smashes the plants, going into autumn we still get the odd day over 100. Sounds like you have it worse. Spraying for whitefly which we also have with the horticultural oil doesn't this burn the leaves on your hot days?
I got cucumbers a little bit behind yours up here in zone 7... they are doing great... and I planted bush beans ... they are doing great too... I had white flies on my bush beans before they flowered and I hit them with neem oil and it pretty much took care of them. My pumpkins on the other hand I've been fighting freaking powdery mildew.. can't seem to win... think mulch would help them? I actually have them growing across my parking lot which is concrete... helps not having to weed them lol
I have planted peas lost those to rust, thought ok it’s warming up I’ll plant beans now. Everything came up great nice and green. All of sudden everything started turning lime green and then rust showed up. So same spot I planted peas, beans did the same thing. Is it my soil, tomatoes same raised bed, perfect my cabbage perfect. It’s been cooler with warmer does low 80’s
Have you had your soil tested? Beans grow best in slightly acidic to neutral soil, pH between 6 and 7. Clay or silt loams are better for bean production than sandy soils, although good drainage is important.
Didn't get any spring pole beans, and my fall was appear to be failed as well. Planted Rattle Snake beans both times... heat killed them both plantings. My fall peas (Acre Peas) are doing well, sitting here shelling peas and I watched this. Hard to tell just looking at them, but it appears my sweet potatoes are doing well... they look nice anyway, and no I didn't pour nitrogen to them... followed your program, so hoping for good things. My English Peas are about 3 inches tall... something got into them overnight and I lost about 1/2 of a row... going to wander out their a couple times in the night tonight and see if I can catch the critter... not exactly sure what it is... If I find him... he's done!
We live in East TN and attempted a fall crop of Tongue of Fire beans. We had to pull them because of freezing temps in November. First, we put them in the barn, but then I moved them under our house where it is a constant 65 degrees. After drying, about 2/3rds of the beans ended up with a rust color to the bean. They should be white with a burgundy marking. Next year we're going to put them in about 2-3 weeks sooner to avoid the Oct. 15th annual frost. Was this caused by cold temps? Or perhaps something else. Thank you.
My roses and other flowers leaves get rust on them. I'm in zone 6 do you think it is the heat? It does not get as hot here in Pa. like what you have in Ga.
There are many, many species of fungus that can cause rust. Roses do appear to be a targeted plant species, but not sure of the specific cause in your case.
What do you use to get rid of the white flies? My second crop of half runner green beans did the same thing here in Florida. My second crop of pink eye purple hull and cowpeas are doing great and so did the okra.
Thanks for sharing a fail and the encouragement that followed. I'm a backyard grower (pots and a couple raised beds) and for various reasons, it's been a rough season. Side note...not sure if you've considered this, but the hotter peppers (habaneros up to the super hots) have become widely popular the past few years. May be a new area of growing for you? Thanks for your excellent channel!
Have you had rain in South Ga.? I'm in southeast Alabama and we haven't had any beneficial rain since March. I've been watering everything I grew this year. I've had some failures in the pumpkin patch, but also some successes. Always plant more than you need, because vine borers are going to get their share, no matter how much BT and other insecticides you spray.
Yeah... Dothan here. It’s been a mess. Daily watering has been a must. What variety of pumpkin did you use Mrs. Sewell? I only had volunteers this year.
@@johnsheppard1491 Yes, I also water every day in the midday. I also had pumpkin volunteers. I am sure of one large orange pumpkin perhaps there are others?
@@johnsheppard1491 I grew several varieties this year, Hubbard, Dickinson, Peanut Shell, Seminole and Jaradale. The vine borers ravaged the Hubbard's, and the Peanut Shell's I only got two small Hubbard's and one Peanut Shell. But I got several Dickinson's and about five Seminoles and one Jaradale. I think next year I'll try the Blue Bayou from Hoss Tools. Thanks for stopping by neighbor 😁
You asked for failures...pickleworms got my squash, cucumbers, AND melons between the middle of June and middle of July. I dusted, I sprayed, I prayed...nothing worked. I'm thinking next year I should plant early enough that the squash and cucumbers are done by the middle of June (when, according to my garden notes from previous years, the pickleworms show up). As for cantaloupe, perhaps look for an early variety and plant them for a fall harvest? WHO KNOWS!!!!!!!!
We highly recommend planting any squash or cucumbers early. We plant them in March around here, plant again in April and once more in May. We can usually get 3 crops before it gets too hot and bug pressure gets too high.
@@gardeningwithhoss I'm about 130 miles NW of you, and frost can be a little iffy the middle of March, so I usually wait until the 1st week of April. What I thought I might try next year is starting them in the greenhouse the 1st-2nd week of March and then set out about 2 - 3 weeks later. There's a YT channel I follow, OldAlabamaGardener (I think he's in north Alabama), that starts just about EVERYTHING inside and seems to have great success. I did plant my 1st fall crop of squash and pole beans this year this past week...hopefully they have time to make. We'll see!
Direct seeded broccoli it failed Planted arugala and kale with success. Planted pole beans in July with agribond covering for first 3 weeks looking real good now.
@@gardeningwithhoss just looked at the weather. They said one Cool spell around October 5 th then hot again till the end of the month. Not a good fall for cool weather crops.
We usually plant carrots early to mid-October. But carrots don't germinate well if soil temps are much above 75 degrees. It may push our carrot planting back as well.
@@gardeningwithhoss I can see where the heat could have played a part. However, I still think cultivating even away from those beans along with irrigation was your main cause. Mulching has been a very helpful method with my beans. Especially bush beans. People were very impressed by how clean and healthy they are. As for pigweed, /)+-&&_$#@#$_&-
What my Grandaddy taught me decades ago: You won't get a single thing out of your garden if you never take the chance of planting the seed.
Very very true!
That Texan ain’t that the truth!
Win some, lose some and some just get rain ed out

Extreme heat here in high altitude northern AZ, with waves after waves of insect pests, some of which we had never seen before in 15 years of gardening here.

No such thing as a perfect garden. Everyone has failures. But good to hear you had some good crops this year!
Travis, Thanks for your Honesty, I planted some Pole Beans also about the same time you did, with the same results as you . You are right, late summer hear in South Ga. has been brutal. HOT & DRY !
Good to know we weren't the only ones who had bad fortune! Better luck next time!
My cucumbers burned up a week ago. I do enjoy your videos. Thank you. God bless you and your family
We've been watering ours religiously to keep them going.
Thank you for sharing a "failure". It helped me so much. I'm sick of seeing videos where people say it's a failure & all they do is show their greenhouse successes! I love the realistic view because in north TX the heat is crazy!
Glad it was helpful!
I had the same bean results here in East Texas. I was thinking it was pilot error, but I’m somewhat happy to know it was a result of this heat. On a positive note, I am now digging Georgia Jet sweet potatoes. Thanks for turning me on to them.
Ours need digging, but hard to convince ourselves to dig them in this heat. Might wait a few more weeks.
Travis this year in Oklahoma the weather has been crazy for planting. In the Spring we battled heavy rains/flooding then it turn hot and dry. Lost my sweet corn and green beans, the okra (Hoss green and red brand) did real well, and the potatoes even though planted real late did okay.
It has been a really great okra year for us as well!
Holy cow. My pole beans are in a high tunnel up here in the north and they are rockin!!!

Seems like quite a few of us had a bean issue this fall. But hopefully the broccoli and cabbage continue doing well!
I planted the same cucumbers and your yellow squash and they are doing great. I just wish now that I had planted them farther apart.
Haha. Those cucumbers can crawl and climb and crawl!

First, we put them in the barn, but then I moved them under our house where it is a constant 65 degrees. After drying, about 2/3rds of the beans ended up with a rust color to the bean. They should be white with a burgundy marking. Next year we're going to put them in about 2-3 weeks sooner to avoid the Oct. 15th annual frost. Was this caused by cold temps? Or perhaps something else. Thank you.
Probably caused by some fungus.
My roses and other flowers leaves get rust on them. I'm in zone 6 do you think it is the heat? It does not get as hot here in Pa. like what you have in Ga.
There are many, many species of fungus that can cause rust. Roses do appear to be a targeted plant species, but not sure of the specific cause in your case.
What do you use to get rid of the white flies? My second crop of half runner green beans did the same thing here in Florida. My second crop of pink eye purple hull and cowpeas are doing great and so did the okra.
Horticultural Oil (hosstools.com/product/horticultural-oil/) is the best all-natural solution. Just don't spray it during the heat of the day.
Ok. I have that. Thank you☺🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I can’t grow beans in 8b. It’s too damn hot this year.
Thanks for sharing a fail and the encouragement that followed. I'm a backyard grower (pots and a couple raised beds) and for various reasons, it's been a rough season. Side note...not sure if you've considered this, but the hotter peppers (habaneros up to the super hots) have become widely popular the past few years. May be a new area of growing for you? Thanks for your excellent channel!
Yes those super hot peppers to seem to be gaining popularity. We should probably add some of those to our seed lineup for next year.
Have you had rain in South Ga.? I'm in southeast Alabama and we haven't had any beneficial rain since March. I've been watering everything I grew this year. I've had some failures in the pumpkin patch, but also some successes. Always plant more than you need, because vine borers are going to get their share, no matter how much BT and other insecticides you spray.
No rain in over a month and none in the forecast. It's been rough!
We're having the drought also up here in Pittsburgh, PA.
Yeah... Dothan here. It’s been a mess. Daily watering has been a must. What variety of pumpkin did you use Mrs. Sewell? I only had volunteers this year.
@@johnsheppard1491 Yes, I also water every day in the midday. I also had pumpkin volunteers. I am sure of one large orange pumpkin perhaps there are others?
@@johnsheppard1491 I grew several varieties this year, Hubbard, Dickinson, Peanut Shell, Seminole and Jaradale. The vine borers ravaged the Hubbard's, and the Peanut Shell's I only got two small Hubbard's and one Peanut Shell. But I got several Dickinson's and about five Seminoles and one Jaradale. I think next year I'll try the Blue Bayou from Hoss Tools.
Thanks for stopping by neighbor 😁
You asked for failures...pickleworms got my squash, cucumbers, AND melons between the middle of June and middle of July. I dusted, I sprayed, I prayed...nothing worked. I'm thinking next year I should plant early enough that the squash and cucumbers are done by the middle of June (when, according to my garden notes from previous years, the pickleworms show up). As for cantaloupe, perhaps look for an early variety and plant them for a fall harvest? WHO KNOWS!!!!!!!!
We highly recommend planting any squash or cucumbers early. We plant them in March around here, plant again in April and once more in May. We can usually get 3 crops before it gets too hot and bug pressure gets too high.
@@gardeningwithhoss I'm about 130 miles NW of you, and frost can be a little iffy the middle of March, so I usually wait until the 1st week of April. What I thought I might try next year is starting them in the greenhouse the 1st-2nd week of March and then set out about 2 - 3 weeks later. There's a YT channel I follow, OldAlabamaGardener (I think he's in north Alabama), that starts just about EVERYTHING inside and seems to have great success. I did plant my 1st fall crop of squash and pole beans this year this past week...hopefully they have time to make. We'll see!
I had good luck with wrapping my cantaloupe and squash fruit with old pieces of Agribon row cover to keep the pests off.
Pickle worms hit my cushaws hard this year I was still able to harvest a good number of cushaw my cucumber's was super prolific this year!
Direct seeded broccoli it failed
Planted arugala and kale with success. Planted pole beans in July with agribond covering for first 3 weeks looking real good now.
Shade cloth surely helped those beans!
@@gardeningwithhoss they wouldn't have made it without we had three rains since July 95 daytime 55 at night wowzers
That's crazy ridiculous -- 40 degree temp swings!
@@gardeningwithhoss weather guy says 65 70 degree nights my thermometer differs with that
Check your cucumbers for the mites.
Haven't seen any yet, but will keep an eye out!
We sre facing the same problems here.
Rain and cool weather can't get here fast enough!
@@gardeningwithhoss just looked at the weather. They said one Cool spell around October 5 th then hot again till the end of the month. Not a good fall for cool weather crops.
We usually plant carrots early to mid-October. But carrots don't germinate well if soil temps are much above 75 degrees. It may push our carrot planting back as well.
Had something to do with the heat
Yes it certainly did!
Mahalo!
Hello!
those plants failed because of nuets... they are starving for it.
Uhmmm🤔. They look to have been cultivated. That's a no no in my garden to cultivate beans.
We've ran the wheel hoe through the middle to keep the pigweed at bay, but we don't get very close to the plants.
@@gardeningwithhoss I can see where the heat could have played a part. However, I still think cultivating even away from those beans along with irrigation was your main cause. Mulching has been a very helpful method with my beans. Especially bush beans. People were very impressed by how clean and healthy they are.
As for pigweed, /)+-&&_$#@#$_&-
Mild version of agent orange.
Horticultural oil?
