More beans
We started picking Romas on Sunday. Got enough for a meat then.
Picked again on Monday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Today DH cut the beans to size and I canned most of them today. Got 8 1.5 pint jars with some left over. Looks like at least 2 more pickings. No more buying at the farmers market. Now waiting for the shell beans to mature and dry. -- USA North Carolina Foothills USDA Zone 7a To find your extension office http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/index.html |

We did get a nice drizzling rain today, dropped half an inch of nice water on us and we are grateful. Crowder peas are done and the vines have been composted, most of the tomatoes are gone too as is the spring lettuce and chard. We still have a lot of sweet chiles, aka peppers, coming in, mostly banana and bell. With luck those will produce until first hard frost, maybe in November or December. Planted some Blue Lake green beans in the pole version and they're up about two inches now. We usually can pick green beans until frost and even after that in some years. It's always good to know exactly where your food comes from. George |
