I am just pulling out my four cucumber plants as I was a bit careless
and watered too much of the leaves and eventually got wilt. I have a lot
to learn. Still, I had loads of cucumbers from them.
Can I plant a couple of different varieties of beans in the same place?
How should I prepare the soil? There is a wired support going across the
bed.
I am in Melbourne.

Beans still are OK while weather reasonably warm, when it gets colder
they wont germinate. They prefer warmer temps though. Silver beet
Cabbages caulies carrots are some.
The "wilt" could be caused due to the end of the season for them.

That should have read FRENCH beans
Other winter varieties like scarlet runners could go OK but are better in
spring.
Broad beans would be OK


Oh great. I love broad beans! That will be the go.
