Beans, beans and more beans

Today was our 2nd day to pick beans.
This field of beans was planted in mid April, the seeds cost me all of $2.00. 
We picked for over an hour this morning and ended up with a sink full of green beans!

Last Friday we picked and processed 8 quart bags for the freezer.
Today we processed 19 quart bags for the freezer. That's a tremendous amount of green beans for $2.00.
Last year we did 38 quarts. We'll pick again Thursday and there's still an abundance left to pick.
Fresh green beans during the fall and winter are much healthier than what we used to buy in the store and much more cost effective.

Of course that's not all we did today, we also canned 5 quarts 
of Pickles :)
