Beans Beans the Magical Fruit!

Not that I didn't have enough already going on this week with the painting but I went out to pick my beans and found much more then I bargained for! The last two picking I have only had enough for about one pressure cooker full of bottles. Well this time I had about 2 1/2 full buckets of beans and ended up canning 16 pints and 20 quarts of beans! My goal was to get between 50 and 75 jars this year and I just reached 50 jars! I probably will still have 1 or 2 more pickings so I am very excited that after a slow start and replanting that I will make my canning goal.

This is where we started...

This is half of what I picked...

A fraction of what I snapped...

These are the results!

wow, it thats great! Our beans haven't even come on yet. It just doesn't get warm enough at night for our summer vegetables to thrive like that.
