When Matt picked all those beans last week, I thought this is it. Really, really it. Those beans have to be done this time for sure.
I stand corrected.
There were even more beans than last week. I did help pick this time, but Matt did all the snapping and pressure canning. Even after tossing out the too-big ones to the pigs, saving a gallon for ourselves to eat fresh, and giving away another gallon, he still ended up with 20 quart-jars of beans.
At 2 a.m. on Sunday morning.
Yep, he’s a keeper.
So is it the heirloom varieties, or the weather we had this year that gave us such a prolific harvest? We’ll see what happens next year. Fun, how gardening is really just one big ongoing lifelong science experiment.
This week, we’re done with the canning, whether the beans are done or not!
Now that’s ALOT of beans!!!!!!
