You're still getting beans? I wish! They were done weeks ago.Farmfresh said:Today's canning:
10 more pints of green beans - Enough with the green beans already ! From now on I am taking my beans to work to see if I can sell them.
3 pints of salsa
4 pints and 1 quart of dill pickles
Remember my Rattlesnakes? They are a heritage pole bean... a bean lovers bean for sure! They produce from early in the spring to hard freeze as long as you keep them watered and picked every couple of days.miss_thenorth said:
I LOVE rattlesnake beans! Probably the only kind of bean I would eat when I was a kid besides green beans. Unfortunately the fam doesn't really like beans so I don't grow them.Farmfresh said:Remember my Rattlesnakes? They are a heritage pole bean... a bean lovers bean for sure!

I have about a 20 foot row of them and have all the beans we can eat for a year canned - PLUS I have given beans away to family and friends. I am going to be blanching and freezing some for my sister now and possibly selling some at school until it freezes.
I can all fall and winter as well.
I freeze most of my tomatoes as they ripen and then can them up and make red sauce, salsa, bbq sauce and ketchup in the cooler months. I also freeze my berries and peaches when I first harvest them and make all of my jams and jellies right before the holidays! I have more time in the cooler months and the steam from the canner is much more welcome in a cold winter house.
I do mostly quick meals or ingredients for quick meals: Beef stew, chicken soup, meatloaf, cubes of beef and pork, cream of mushroom soup (thanks again, farmerlor!), boiled peanuts, chili, spaghetti sauce with meat, and pizza sauce. And lots of unflavored chicken broth and a few jars of flavored broth for when someone is sick....a great thing to drop off to a sick friend, too.sufficientforme said:Freemotion what do you can most beside catfood?freemotion said:
