My garden is very small and the red long beans and red zinnias I started in seed pods are ready to be transplanted to the back yard. How can I place them where the bean plants can have support?

    You can plant them next to something that grows tall (corn, okra, etc) or use something that they can climb on like a tomato cage.

      Thank you so much for responding. I have some bamboo stakes.


      Have you any any answers for how to rid myself of white flies?

    Use the tall garden bamboo stakes and make a tee pee style form so they can climb and grow. Vertical space. Or if you have Long, small tree branches to trim, tie them and use Them. I have crepe myrtle that I have to cut back. I make walking sticks from them and give away. They would be good for that.

      Spray the plants with a mixture of dawn dishsoap and water to get rid of the flies

    Use a solution of soapy water. I looked them up and I would use the soapy water. It works wonders on most varmits that attack our plants, and it's safe!! I especially like that!!! Let me Know how it goes.
