Green Beans

[Dwight55]

Saw the thread on garlic . . .

Thought I'd pass on the pics of my green beans. In my lifetime . . . never have I seen just regular green beans grow like these have this year.

My fence is just at 5 ft . . . where the white half runners more or less quit. Maybe half will go closer to 6 feet . . . but that's it.

I stand flat footed and reach 8 ft . . . some of these are well above that even . . . so I laid them back over and ran them along the top of the fence.

And it may not look it . . . but those rows are a good 5 ft apart.

Tomato plants are close to the top of the stakes as well . . .

Potatoes are dying already . . .

Been one "something else" summer so far.

May God bless,
Dwight

Nice beans Dwight!!! Kentucky wonders? Blue lake poles?

I do scarlet runners too, they can be done green or saved as dry beans

As hawg said you do dillys and/or can?

We ferment the dilly beans.

I do can pickles, tomatoes, chili sauce, hot mix gardenia etc but it's been a couple years. Now that I'm retired I'll get back into it. The last year I canned I was canning nights and weekends from the end of June thru to September. This year I still won't have time to can the veggies but will be canning massive amounts of venison.

The seed beans were sold to me for white half runners . . . my wife likes them best . . . they can easy . . . string easy . . . and they kind of roll thru the production stage . . . not 5 bushels today and none for the next week . . . then another 5 bushels.

I'm wondering though . . . bean seeds been known to get mixed up.

We'll find out in about 10 days . . . maybe. And all I do is put em in pint and quart jars . . . mighty good that way.

May God bless,
Dwight

If all goes well with my impossible to draw Elk tag....that I drew despite the odds, that's what I'll have. And will can some of it.
