Beyond your excellent narrative, what are you doing with all those beans?

So, I try to support 9 households and 4 of my closest neighbors. Beans are so easy to grow that I can raise one row or 3 rows. It's my choice of how much work I want to do. When I do the big crop, I usually get some "pickers" to come in and help harvest. Hope this gets you in the mood to spread the goodies around your family and friends. We're as country as banjos and corn bread. It a comfort factor.

A wonderful story, Ted, and thank you for posting it. Early mornings in the garden are just plain special, not to mention necessary when you live where the day gets hot quick.
There are always a couple of mockingbirds hanging around the garden, especially in the morning. Their singing is quite a concert. I've read that they are capable of 125 different calls in a row without repeating one. Simply amazing and quite a treat! |

Blue Lake Bush Beans. It's the same kind you find in the cans at the stores. However, we cook them a bit differently to enhance the taste. You know, we have to put our own marks on them.
