My green beans are not growing as well as previous years. I think it is due to the colder than typical weather that we have been having. Our temperatures have been dipping into the 50’s or lower overnight and for the month of may we barely hit 70 degrees for the highs. This is very unusual for northern California. green beans flourish on warm temperatures. hopefully June will be warmer and they will take off.
