Will picked tons of Dragon Tongue snap beans, the third picking off that 50-foot row and I was busy for three days, canning them all up. Each day I got 28 pints! Our pantry is very happy. Then, yesterday, I seeded out 25 varieties of tomatoes and saved the leftovers to make more salsa. What a win-win situation! I ran the tomatoes, some onions, and sweet peppers plus some Cowboy Candy syrup through my Ninja blender and put the puree in my handy-dandy turkey roasting pan in the oven overnight. Today, I added some seasonings like powdered garlic, cilantro, and powdered lemon\/lime and got it all canned up. Nine pints! This is really adding up fast.<\/p>\n

Aren’t these Dragon Tongue snap beans wonderful?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was so glad to get them all canned up. Thank you Will!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today, our friends, Sherri and Dara, came and picked a 50-foot row of Black Manitoba dry bean pods. I was surprised yesterday, when I went to get some onions for the salsa, that they were already dry. And there were lots of them! The girls picked two five-gallon buckets, nearly full. And there are more, which are more shaded and greener yet. Wow! I love those beans and use them as I would Black Turtle beans. Fortunately, Black Manitobas are much earlier. They’re talking about lows in the thirties on Friday night. I sure hope they’re wrong! Everything is doing so well; I hate for it to be stopped dead. There’s no way we can cover everything or even mostly everything.<\/p>\n

The girls picked a crate of tomatoes each to take home and process.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sherri and Dara also picked a crate of tomatoes each, to take home and process. As the tomatoes are doing so well, I was glad to see some of them go where they’ll be well-used. Sarge and Hondo went with us out to the Wolf Garden to hang with us and Dara’s dog (Hondo’s brother), Norton. They all “protect” us from lions, tigers, and elephants while we work. Ha ha! Tomorrow, I’m going to pick more jalape\u00f1os to make more Cowboy Candy. Boy, do we love the extra syrup in everything from stir-fries to pouring over meatloaf or baked chicken. Yum yum! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
