Bean There, Done That
This is what I did yesterday afternoon. I picked a bunch of bush beans, washed them, snapped them, and canned them. While one batch was in the canner I'd be washing and snapping the next batch. While the last batch was in the canner, I did Sudoku. I was tired.
I prefer pole beans but the deer ate my pole beans this year and when I replanted there wasn't enough time for pole beans to produce before the average first frost. So I planted bush beans. These are Blue Lake and I am pleased with them. They are prolific, taste good, and are stringless.

Pretty Beans!
I've been reading your blog for a couple of days. I think that I've read almost all of it! Thanks for taking the time. As a newbie learning about self sufficiency, I have learned a lot and really enjoyed reading about your experiences.
So when you're less busy, want a write a little about your pressure canner and convince me that we won't die if we buy one? :) I've got some strange phobia about them.
Hey! Nice yields! I bet your feet were tired too!
Lani, thanks for the great compliment. If you're interested in self sufficiency, the forums at http://homesteadingtoday.com are a great resource.
Kathyjo, I'm going to be doing more beans this weekend. I will document it all and put it up here. It's only scary the first time. Once they don't blow up, and once you don't die, you'll be HOOKED.
Cyndy, these little bush beans are surprisingly prolific. I usually plant pole beans. I don't remember my feet being tired at all, but leaning over the sink to wash all those beans... ouch, my back!
