Green beans and barley
 

Hi all, I'm new here.

I have got a problem with my green beans - they are about 20 cm tall but
have begun to bend and their leaves wither. How much water do they need?

Also can anyone provide some comments on growing barley?

PS - I'm from Singapore, i.e. tropical weather.

TIA.

Stick your finger in the dirt. If you don't detect moisture after the
first joint, they need water.

Does anything else in your garden exhibit the same behaviour?

Thanks. What does it mean when the roots are turning brown?

I would doubt that either green beans (P. vugarus) or barley will grow in
Singapore as these are cool weather plants. I would expect heat to take out
either, There is an African version(P. acutifolius) that might work in your
climate. On top of that, root rot oranisms seem to proliferate in warmer soils
evn in the souther part of the U.S.
