My wax beans are ready to be picked but I will save them for tomorrow. It will be the 1st picking for them, was 3rd and largest picking for green beans.

I was surprised that the bulk of the beans fit into the (7) quart jars I was canning.

I love wax beans. Is there some reason I don’t plant them? Well, there’s always NEXT year. *SHRUG* :)

I like to plant purple bush beans because they’re easier to pick, but they just turn back to boring green when you cook them. What a rip! ;)

I'm always amazed just how much 7 quart jars will hold. I haven't done any veggies yet, but the 20 pounds of round steak I bought filled up the jars with nothing left over for dinner!
