Let us be as careful that our homes are furnished with pleasant & happy thoughts as we are that the rugs are the right color and texture & the furniture comfortable and beautiful"!

green beans
My day in green beans pictures.
Final count ~ 16- 3/4 lb. bags of blanched frozen beans. And 9 quarts of my personal favorite... Dilly beans! It's definitely a start.
Green beans have always been one of my favorites and we did not plant them this year since we were just starting. You get to enjoy them all year now because of your hard labor!
Chuckling - I *know* this Day in Beans. Could be the name of a harvest festival. I've just been blanching and freezing my yellow beans. Never tried dilly beans, but you've got me intrigued.
So enjoyed this post,my favorite photos was seeing the girls working together, and the jars on the table with the chickens out and about, does it get any better than this? Enjoy your day. Sue
Nice looking beans! That will be what I will be doing very soon as my beans are almost there. Do you use the recipe for Dilly Beans from - "Putting Food By" ? xo
So nice, I always enjoy doing green beans. The kids always help and it is so nice to sit around the table and talk while we snap beans. It all looks so pretty.
Those are some nice looking beans! I'm all done canning mine for this year, and though I didn't get nearly as many as last year, I'm still glad for the jars I have!
I don't know what dilly beans are. Do you add other seasonings to them?
I love green beans, and yours look yummy! I enjoyed the photos of your canned beans, and the bags ready for the freezer. I bought some green beans at the farmer's market this weekend, and will be having them with our dinner tonight! Can't wait!
You and I are on the same wave length! Preserving beans. [o= You might like to see what I posted today. I need to make some dilly beans soon. Thanks for the reminder.
Lovely..beans are going into my garden this season too. Can you please share your method of making the dilly beans..never heard of them? Thanks Debbie. Maa
Love your busy kitchen and your pretty beans all in a row........with all this preserving happening in blogland it must be time for me set out mixing bowls and purchase dried fruits to make my Christmas cake.
Wow, that is a lot of greenbeans. I have been able to harvest 2 green bean and they were yummy!! I think there will be a third one ready tomarrow. Clarice
Okay Debbie, now it's my turn to drool over your produce :). They look so good and I hope you enjoy them. xx
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when I was a little girl and snipped all the beans for my grandmother.

ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm inspired. Green beans need to be planted...in only I could figure out where the seeds went to.
