First Bean Harvest

Marc and two of the kids picked beans for about two hours on Sunday morning, and then the whole crew got to work snapping them. Yesterday I worked all day on cleaning and canning.

Rebekah took these photos while they were at my father-in-law’s house working (finger smudge on the lens and all!):

…And here’s the finished product–46 quarts:

Marc had fun looking through our Facebook photo archives to compare it to last year’s bean harvest. We did better this year on our first picking (12 quarts compared to 46),  and we should be able to pick again this weekend.

How does your garden grow? 🙂
