Green beans are difficult to grow sometimes. A soil sample to your local farm bureau extension office next spring will help. I also keep putting seeds in the spots that are bare. A little fertilizer helps. Miracle grow every 3 weeks is good. If you can get a time release fertilizer try to find 10 10 10 mix. Your local stores or garden centers and even an FS will know what you mean when you ask for it. Gardening is a learning experience. Every year you will get better.
Thanks for the advice. This is my first time growing anything, so I just got veg garden soil from the store (tractor supply & lowes). Because I have back issues & balance issues, I have planted in buckets & a raised garden using the soil from the store.
That's great! I have an electric glass top stove so I can't can anything. Been wondering if I should get one of those food vacuum sealer bags & machines.
I have a vacuum packer and I like it. You can can on you electric glass top stove. Many things you preserve can be water bathed. Start by getting a good canning/preserving book. You can also open kettle can some things like tomato products. Get a ph tester to do so. Then you put the hot product in sterilized jars with lids and rings. I do some things in my pressure canner. I believe you can control the heat on your electric stove to do so.

It's a great way to grow. My brother in law just put all of his veg. in buckets. In the Fall I am going to teach him how to preserve it.
