Planting Beans by the Stream For Whoever Passes
When my brain feels cluttered, I love doing a tiny bit of gardening — it refreshes me. So, I decided to transplant my runner bean seedlings, which are now getting rootbound.
I dug a few holes using my hoe. I’ll tell you, I would really struggle with gardening without this hoe! I brought the blade from the Philippines fifteen years ago because the hoes being sold here in England are so light that they can’t dig the ground well enough. This is the number one garden tool I couldn’t do without! Though it's engraved 'Made in England, which I thought was funny, as I travelled half the world to have it.
Anyway, I planted seven runner beans along the fence and in a planter. They grow so bushy, I can’t really add any more than that!
I watered them well, hoping they’ll spring up more in the next few days.
I had a few seedlings left, so I shared a couple with the neighbours. I could’ve just let the rest go to waste, but I thought I’d plant them in the wild instead.
All I needed was a small trough, the seedlings, and a little container to water them. (The cat followed me.)
A short walk from our house, I looked for a good spot in the wild where there’s some sunshine and maybe people passing by, so they can collect the beans if they want to.
The area was perfect — there’s a running stream beside two hazelnut trees and a path where a few people might walk by.
It’s also easy to fetch water from the stream right beside them.
I dug up the soil and noticed that it is very fertile, looking good for these beans. (What a good little cat helper.)
I planted them by a hazelnut tree so they can climb up.
They already seemed happier.
Then I fetched water from the stream and gave them a good drink to get them started.
(dropped the phone- accidental shoot, photo taking, then planting? Phew, haha!)
I can’t wait to see them grow and bloom — and hopefully see people pick the beans and save themselves the cost of buying!
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Mariah 😊💗🍃

14 commentsVery altruistic idea to plant the exceeded around! And the cat is super good to follow and don't run away
Yes, it's something to look forward to, seeing how they grow. That cat was trained to follow me around the woods. He climbed to the very top of a tall tree while I was planting there, and I was worried he’d fall, as the branches were thin. Luckily, he managed to get down.
He goes up to the trees often?
The other one does, but this one is chubby and loves the ground. I think he was just showing off.

That’s a great start for the beans. Am sure they would be super grateful to you and would produce a bountiful harvest
Thank you, I look forward to seeing them bear lots of fruit! 😊
That's a lovely idea! Is there no chance of animals eating them, like rabbits?
That's a good point; Thank you, I'll check and add something around them.😊

What a great job, I love green beans, I wish I could find them in my neighborhood so I could save myself from buying them hehe excellent job and I'm sure they will grow very well 😍
Thank you. I would love to see them grow, as opposed to poisonous ivy multiplying around. And to see free beans in the wild would be nice. 😊
You are lucky to have this opportunity to recharge your creativity. When I was a child, we had a garden and I started growing plants very early. When I was 6, we had a family trip to the mountains and I loved the wild boxwood so much that I dug out a tiny tree to bring home and grow. It was my hobby all my childhood - researching the forest to collect some plants for growing in the garden. Until 12 - we left the city and the garden. But good memories.
Beautiful post!
Aww, that’s a beautiful memory, and I can imagine you digging up that tiny boxwood. I think it’s so important to start connecting with nature from childhood, as it really stays with us. I grew up on a farm and loved my nan’s woodland backyard; it felt like such a treat, and I could completely lose myself in it. Life does change, and sometimes we move into different chapters, but in some ways, it eventually finds its way back. Thank you for sharing that, as it truly adds warmth. 😊💗
