A flood destroys the black bean fields.

A while ago, my family planted a field of black beans. The crop was thriving, growing beautifully, but lately it had been raining heavily. The area where the beans were planted was prone to flooding, as there's a nearby river that overflows during heavy rains. Unfortunately, the worst happened: while it was raining, the river overflowed its banks and flooded the area, washing away almost all of the black bean plants. Today I want to show you the bean field and what it looks like now.

The photo I'm showing you below is just a small part of the flood, but you can see the amount of water that stagnated and didn't leave a single bean plant in that part of the land.

Now I want to show you two photos. In the first, I'm showing you the bean plants that were left withered and dead after the flood. In the second photo, we see that the plants are fine, but that doesn't mean the flood didn't affect them. It did affect them, but less severely, and you can see that in the soil covering the stems.

In the water that remained stagnant after the flood, the remains of some black bean plants can also be seen, although only their roots are visible since that was all that was left.

To show you how affected the plants were, I did a test. I put a healthy plant in my hand next to one that was underwater, and look at the difference: one was completely dead and the other was at least alive.

The bean plants suffered severe damage from the flooding, but some areas survived. I took two photos of those areas; the first is of a plot farther from the water, where the damage was much less, which is clearly visible when compared to the other photo I took of the plot where the black beans suffered more damage but at least survived.

These were the black beans that were least affected.

These were the most affected, as I mentioned earlier.

This is the story of the flooded black bean field. Although it was a sad story, it's over now, but the important thing is that the beans can be replanted and recovered. I hope you enjoyed the post. Thank you all, goodbye!
