how do you do them? i pretty much used the same
method i did for the cucumbers.

wash/rinse, make brine, pour brine over cut up
beans, process.

dunno how crunchy they will be, but i recall the
dilly beans someone gave to me were pretty good.

if i would replant every few weeks i could be in
beans all season until the frosts come. i just don't
usually have the space or am too busy with projects
by mid-summer to really push production.

we have about a month or month and a half before
the first frosts return. i could try to sneak in
some peas - but it won't happen. i'm way too busy
trying to get other things done.

Mom wakes up before i do, has her coffee, knits
and watches the weather channel. i wake up sometime
around when the sun comes in the patio door or even
earlier. i used to be a night-owl, but i've tried
to shift my sleep schedule earlier so i can get out
in the morning while it is still cool outside.

routine is good, i'm a big fan of the simple
life...
