I planted a bunch of stuff over the last 4 weeks or so. I am wondering if I
planted beans too soon? I have squash, cukes, and tomatoes in the ground
doing well, but my beans either germinated poorly, or died after
germinating. I have them in seperate plots also, and all of them did poorly.
I'm in the mid Willamette Valley, Lebanon, Oregon. Is it too early to plant
beans?

I'm higher in elevation than you, but the soil here is still too cold for
beans -- stick a thermometer in the soil. Suggestion: stop by the library
(or buy your own) for a copy of Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades,
by Steve Solomon. I think you'll find it quite helpful.
