After some nice days of sun and 70’s, today it got really cloudy. Then it began snowing like crazy. Wow! We didn’t enjoy that one bit. But we had lots to do indoors. Will began shelling beans by putting them in a five-gallon bucket. Then he stomps down with his boot to loosen the beans in the pods. Finally, out comes the baseball bat, which he uses to pound down on the bean pods, shelling out the dry beans. It makes shelling them much faster than doing each one by hand. But, some stubborn varieties, such as Carminat, Monte Gusto and Hidatsa Shield Figure (some of our favorite beans too!) are harder and must be shelled by hand, which takes quite a bit of time. You can see we get personal with many seeds!<\/p>\n

I can’t believe it; the greenhouse is plumb full of beans, squash, pumpkins, peppers, and the last tomatoes, some of which are starting to go bad. Hurry Jackie!<\/p>\n

Today, I began cutting open Hopi Pale Grey squash for their seeds. I see Will is drooling and hoping I’ll get busy and make at least two pumpkin pies from one of them. We are so blessed to have a nice crop of very large Hopis this year. We love them so much! Sarge, the new Mastiff pup, loves them too and begs for raw squash “guts” as I seed each half out. He thinks they’re yummy too. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
