Don't know exactly why that title insisted on staying...but it did.
Anyway...the produce (read green beans) is coming in now and we've been busy.

Monday evening Mama and I cleaned the Cantares and Blue Lakes. (Cantares are a small French bean.) They actually got processed yesterday...but only after Daddy set up my great-aunt's old six-burner stove in the middle of the garage because the Conservo would not work on the new ceramic top in the kitchen. I imagine the neighbors really think we are crazy now. ;)
These mostly look like Blue Lakes here...the jar second from left has Cantares in it, I think.
Yesterday (Tuesday), we tackled some Roma's. (Flat beans.) Daddy and Mama used the FoodSaver to get them ready for the freezer.
They also did squash...chunks and grated. The grated stuff works great for breads.
This morning, I sliced and packaged beets before tossing them into the freezer. I love beets. :)
Daddy bought Mama that knife several years ago--and I love it!
Four quarts. We don't have any freezer bags, so they got double bagged--with two different types of bag!
Currently there are other green beans in the works...Mama is in the next room snapping beans, listening to a Joe Morecraft sermon. I have two different skillets going in the kitchen full of green beans, purple beans and yellow beans.

And now...if you'll forgive the short, un-adorn-ed-ness of this post...I need to toddle out and give my chickens their 11:30 feeding.
