I have not, BUT - I may need to if Mr. Chipmunk keeps digging mine up!

Amazingly, I’ve seen green beans sold in 6 packs! How silly, but it might help in this situation.

My drying beans have germinated but none of the green pole beans, yet. I’ll investigate that in the morning - too hot outside tight now. ;)

I can’t see why it WOULDN’T work.

I’m trying some and will see how it goes.

A mouse got in the house and stole a bunch of beans I was trying to germinate. Evidently, Rattlesnake and Roma II pole beans are yummy because it stole all of those. I really want to grow/try some of the Rattlesnake beans. I’ve had ROMA II but will resow some just to see how they grow here.

For my mole issue, I’m going to dig a trench and shove hardware cloth down in a U shape.

Beans don’t like their roots disturbed and moles don’t are carnivorous but do disturb roots.

Yeah, they sell all sorts of odd veggie starts now. Sweet corn too.
