Bean seeds not sprouting<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am having my green beans to sprout. I have planted them 2 times and still not popping. The are new seeds from a name brand company this year. I planted them in new top soil. I had the same problem last year, that’s why I put in new top soil.<\/em><\/p>\n

Usually when beans fail to come up they have either been too cold, too wet or too dry. Or, a critter might be helping itself to your seeds. To check, dig in your row with your fingers to find your seeds. If they have rotted, you won’t find nice beans but mushy ones. If you find nothing, look for little dips in the dirt, indicating that they’ve been dug up and eaten\/carried away. In warm soil that is kept nicely moist but not soggy wet, your beans should pop up within 10 days. — Jackie<\/p>\n

Re-canning black olives<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have checked your blog\/articles for directions for re-canning black olives. In one article it gives a time of 60 min., in the other 90 min. for pints and half pints. Which is correct? I love your books, use them all the time, never dared to can meat until I read your articles and books.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks for all your wonderful information. I finally was able to subscribe to BHM — just love it. Even though I’m a city dweller, I have a large garden and try to “homestead” in any way I can.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sixty minutes is the recommended time for processing olives in pints and half pints. Sorry for the mistake.<\/p>\n

I’m glad you like my books and are now canning meat. It’s so easy and SO handy! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
