Our plants are still very healthy and growing well. We saw white flowers on our beans and these flowers are what will help our plants reproduce. Our beans could increase their numbers as pollinators, such as bees, come around and pollinate the flowers and ultimately fertilizing them. The flowers then grow into beans and the bean life cycle starts again with another bean plant. However, beans that do not survive and fall into the soil can be used to grow more bean plants.
There are many factors that would limit the number of beans that can grow in each garden box. Some include soil texture, pollinators, space, and the amount of supplied water. If there are too many beans in one area, then they will not have the necessities viable for them to survive. Therefore, I believe the carrying capacity of one garden box for Phaseolus vulgaris is about one hundred seventy-five plants. I believe there is room for this amount of plants but there would be a lack of resources which would make the amount of plants to about two hundred.
