PLEASE HELP.. Year after year we have been having trouble getting seeds to sprout. Green beans have to be re-planted 2 and 3 times each year. This year, I couldn’t even get yellow squash to germinate. What am I doing wrong?

Soil temperature is one major factor. Too cold and they just don’t germinate.

Where do you live? What kind of soil do you have? We can start there.

Check your green bean seeds closely and see if they are being eaten by little worms. We had this happen to our second planting of pole beans. They are larva from flies who like to feed off of bean seeds especially if the days are wet and cool (which makes the soil the same) which is exactly what happened to us this year.
