Something has eaten up my runner beans! I have about 4 that might make it, out of the 20 or so that were planted around the bases of the two bean tee-pees. The sunflowers got a little chewed up, and there are a few holes in other things but the beans are destroyed. We sprayed with insecticidal soap, no difference. We sprayed today with a sesame oil based organic insecticide, mostly in case they decide to move on to other things. The beans are a lost cause. I think I'm seeing little tiny black fly like bugs. that are causing the damage. It is insect damage for sure.
So, is it too late to replant? I'm in zone 6 and it's 90 today, although we'll be be back in the 80's next week. And how do figure out what's eating them and keep them safe?? Poor beans!
